YeoSoft Text to Speech Recorder

Ever wanted a quick and easy way to record what you typed up, whether it’s a grocery or shopping list, notes you took while doing a phone interview, or notes you typed while listening to a book, movie, or speech? It takes forever if you hold your recorder up to the speaker, and the sound is not great. Using a text to speech recorder is a much better way of converting your text files to MP3 files. I found quite a few on the Internet Archives, and tested most of them, but only one was easy to use with a screenreader, and allowed me access to all of the program’s features. Some of them were hard to figure out, and a few of them did not have full access via screenreader.

Yeosoft Text-to-MP3 , which can be downloaded as a free trial,> appears to be fully accessible with the JAWS screenreader. A friend noted that it is very difficult with NVDA, however. Please comment and let me know how it works with other screenreaders (WindowEyes, ScreenAccess, etc.)
