Hi Hank,
I, frankly, am probably not the the best person to answer this
question since I haven't spent a significant amount of time using
Audacity with VoiceOver.
I will say that Audacity has plenty of custom controls in the main
window which are not accessible via VoiceOver. However, the
application menus are accessible via VoiceOver and there are Key
Commands for most functions i.e. you can do everything from
application menus and with key commands.
I'd suggest the following:
1. Download and install the free Audacity application.
2. Spend some time browsing through the online help. There are also
some excellent tutorials and other introductory information at the
Audacity Source Forge site (and plenty of opportunities to learn
fundamentals of digital audio there as well).
3. Explore the application menus and get familiar with features,
functions and key commands.
Then, *grin* perhaps you can give *us* some tips.
Joe

Subject: C-Speech audio files [was: programs for mac...]
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,
Joe
