You Know something Cooj55 You just read my mind, because if it that I think is what im looking for, I just want to read ebooks in MS Reader in my PDA, with good pronunciation, because Im learning English in this moment, And you dont have idea How I have been navigating on the internet looking for How Can I do that, and I dont know but I thought that was possible because with MS REader for your PC you listen any books that you want, I think is included with the program for PC not for Ms Reader for Pocket PC...

So I don't know how long before I have a beta copy out.... Thanks for your votes and feedback. ML, J "This is a poll and/or a request to see if or how much a function for readding ebooks out loud would be wanted. (Clarification: Added after a few votes... This would be a program that vocalized the text. The text would be read by computer. It would not be like Audible.com as Audible uses voice files that can be quite big and dependent on a person to record the voice and thus cost extra money to make and for you to get the book... This would be an add-in or separate program that would take an ebook and/or text file and turn it into vocalized sounds, thus reading the book out loud. When programed correctly all that was written would be able to be understood clearly. And thus one could listen to any book that exists in written form--of which there are millions!!!) Please give any feedback."

I used to use an add-on for word that spoke, I think the talking ebook on ppc is a great idea, maybe an app that reads text from any app would be good as well?

good luck with the coding, if you would like some assistance pm me.

Unless the reader will recognise punctuations and vary its 'voice' when there are different characters etc, I think I'd opt for a 'silent' read. I've used Adobe's 'text to speech' feature and it sounds more like someone droning on rather than actual story telling.
