Have a bunch of documents you need to sit down and read? What if you could listen to them on a media player instead? Or what if you could burn audio recordings of your files to CDs to listen to them in your car?
Many people enjoy the freedom that audio books afford because they allow easy multitasking. Others simply absorb information better by hearing. These are just a few reasons you might want a program that converts documents into audio files.
AudioDocs is just such a program. It has one function: It takes any Microsoft Word DOC file and converts it into a WAV file that you can listen to on iPods, CDs and digital music players.
The most attractive feature of AudioDocs is its simplicity. The design is clean and the functionality is straightforward. There are only a few buttons to click in the very linear conversion process.
AudioDocs requires Microsoft's .NET Framework 4.5 to run, and it will install it for you if you don't have it already. This process will require a restart of your computer.
You'll be able to select which digital voice you'd like to listen to your DOC in, as well as reading pace and volume. If you have an ebook, text file or other type of document, you'll need to save it in the DOC format before you can convert it.
Use the free LibreOffice to save text as a DOC file if you don't have Microsoft Office.
Once you've converted the document to a WAV audio file, use a program like fre:ac to convert it to an MP3 file for playback on media players. Or use CDBurnerXP to burn the file to a CD.
