Hi James,
In the current version, C-Speech creates AIFF files (a popular audio
standard on the Mac). Converting those AIFF files to MP3 (or any of
the other popular audio file formats) for use on any portable player
is pretty straightforward. You can convert AIFF files to MP3 using
iTunes. You can also 'Export to MP3' using Audacity - free, open-
source software which is reasonably via VoiceOver. Following is link
to Audacity page at SourceForge:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
You can also export to various audio file formats with Apple's
QuickTime Pro (fully accessible via VoiceOver) or burn C-Speech-
generated audio files to an audio CD, as some members of this list do.
Hope that helps,
Joe

Hi Joe,
If you convert text to audio with this program, can you then use
the audio files in an mp3 player. If so, are there specific ones
that you can use or not.
Thanks

Hello,
No, but I did have text aloud for windows and I loved it.
I have emailed them because I will purchase it after the ability
to save audio files from the text is available so I can listen
to books and things on my mp3 player.
Hi Dan,
If you're just looking for text-to-audio conversion, you can use
our C-Speech application which is free. More information on the C-
Speech page at:

Hope that helps,
