Uh-uh. My girlfriend is wheelchair-bound and she uses audiobooks a lot because she can't use her hands at all. The program she uses to listen to standard bound books is very expensive and does a lot of work to make a book work for her. It has to remove a lot of page breaks, line breaks, and other garbage, and it's got to do that without input from her at all. Simply dropping a book into a text to speech program does not an audiobook make, and Cassandra would tell you that, she's no dummy. Jared Aaron Cannon wrote on 9/21/2005, 5:21 PM:

it's also worth noting that my "viewer" program has text-to-speech capability. so melissa, you can try it out yourself, and let me know how it works for you. it works just fine for me...
Sorry, but dropping in a couple hooks to a text to speech engine doesn't make a program accessible.
