SayPad - Version 1.0 SayPad, the freeware talking text editor can read you a good book or help you write one, using SAPI 5.1 Text To Speech (included). It can convert Text to MP3 for a whole book in one run, splitting off chapters into well named MP3 files. It carefully installs the SAPI 5.1 Text To Speech engine from a compact 8.2 megabyte download. You can fit huge files into it like the whole Bible for instance, (In fact it has a filter you can turn on that skips over verse numbers to let you hear it like a story.)
