Default How do I convert typed text to audio speech?

Maybe you could program something with the "Microsoft Speech Object
Library"... but it would probably much simpler to use some recording
software like http://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity and choose "Wave" as
the source, while you let the Word macro read the text.

Not sure why you'd want to: The resulting *.wav file will be much, much
bigger than the original text document, which you can have read to you at
any time...

Regards,
Klaus

Okay, so I can now speak the text. How about saving the spoken text to an
audio file?
