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

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
