Hi all: Yesterday I discovered that bookshare has begun providing books in synthesized mp3 files, too. This feature is in beta stage as of now and is available for books written in English. Its not for hindi, and I didn't check for other languages. It uses a female voice which sounds quite natural, and I found the speech rate is easy for comprehension.
I chose a 400 page book for download and it did not complete its packaging even after an hour. Thinking its a bug I closed the window, but a few hours later I got an email with the download link of the book. Later for a 100 page book I received an email with download link in 45 minutes. Sounds interesting! So thought to share the info with others. thanks, Pranay.
