Ann Parsons To Demonstrate Using Kurzweil To Improve Sound Quality of eBooks
on Tek Talk Monday, January 19, 2009

When preparing to read an eBook on your computer or portable digital player,
do you frequently wish you could change to a different voice than your
screen reader or other text editor such as the smooth easy listening voices
used by Kurzweil?

Assistive Technology Trainer Ann K. Parsons has been invited by the
Accessible World to answer this question. During this week's Tek Talk online
training session, she will demonstrate how to convert eText into mp3 files
using Kurzweil 1000 reading software. Then, following the presentation, the
virtual audience will have the opportunity to ask questions about the
Kurzweil method and discuss other programs that can be used to convert text
to sound files. Don't miss this opportunity to expand your eText reading
options!
