Hi,
Interesting. I haven't delved deep into trying to convert text files
to audio on the Mac yet. I'm not terribly fond of command line
programs, but the fact that that is available is nice. Typically, I
convert text files to AAC format, flag them as audio books so the
iPod will treat them as such, and put them on my iPod.

Do you want to just make text file into audio file? you can do that
now with the say command line program. What exactly are you wanting
to do?

Hi David,
Interesting. VisioVoice sounds like a nice expansion to
VoiceOver. Has anyone used this? I may try out the demo at some
point. The multi-lingual support is the most impressive, and my
girlfriend will definitely be interested in it for that. *grin* I
love the ability to make text files to iPod ready iTunes format as
well, although I'm not sure those two options along are worth the
$250 price tag. I got a program to do to the text to audio
conversion for free under Windows, and am sure eventually I'll
find another, similarly free solution under Mac OSX. Still, seems
like a nice package.

On the schedule I saw VoiceOver presentation and Mac osx
accessibility presentation. I attended the latter but had a
conflict with the former. VO was touched upon though and I used
it during the accessability lab.
There was also a set of presentations by assistiveware dealing
with their line of access products for the Mac. I provided a
brief demonstration of Visiovoice with VO and the IvoxInfovox
voices onn Saturday morning.
I agree, it was not an exciting conference for me but then I have
nothing to compare it too. Several people though said that it
was the best CSun in years.
You can learn more about assistiveware products at:

we've discussed them here before but incase you haven't checked
them out, theyy are worth a look.
I am not employyed by assistive ware.
Thanks!

There were a couple of presentations on VoiceOver. Perhaps,
three, but I'm not sure. Also, a few folks from Apple were
wandering about. Unfortunately, even though it was not an overly
exciting show, I didn't have much time to attend presentations or
venture far from my booth.
