Also, it can be read aloud by a voice synthesizer, though it might
be necessary to add a MIDI track controlling the synthesizer to make
it listenable. We rent a lot of recorded books for long commutes,
etc., but the binder and set of 8-12 cassettes are cumbersome.
Humm, I wonder if the same thing could be done with a
browser plug-in.
