You'd almost expect there to be a voice synthesizer for the price :) there isn't but I admit I thought at first there was.

The Daisy books that are provided by Bookshare only contain text. The PTR1 only plays Daisy books that contain audio, since it has no speech synthesizer. If you really need to read books from Bookshare on the PTR1, try converting them to MP3 using Kurzweil or Openbook, or try products like Text Aloud http://www.nextuptech.com The navigation will be more difficult than Daisy, but you can, at least in Kurzweil, split the book up into MP3 chapters or sections. For more info on Daisy, including the specification for both text and audio, try http://www.daisy.org Aman -----Original Message----- From: Scott Blanks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 15, 2004 8:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bookshare and the PTR1 Hi list, A Bookshare subscriber has asked me to pass this question along. When you download the DAISY books from Bookshare, do they need to be converted into a different format before being burnt onto a cd for playing on the Plextalk? Or can you simply download a book and move it to cd? In either case, will the process of navigating this file, once it is on a cd, be different from a typical DAISY book from RFB for example?
