Hello This is Matt A wow not noon yet and bad day already I forgot the password on my other email can't get it back for five days. :( So i just rejoined using my other email come on five days :| Well anyway I read the archive here is how I made the audio book of the ubuntu packaging guide. 1. Download the pdf 2. Cut and paste each chapter into its own text file (Chapter 3 needed two but who cares) 3. Do some minor edits (add an intro note remove Table of Contents typographical conventions etc) 4. text2wave each file separately ( crashed when i did it all at once ) 5. Lame encode each wav 6. deleted wavs (kept textfiles in case i needed to redo something) 7. made an m3u so i could just push a button when i wanted to hear the book 8. Make a tarball and put it on my thumb drive for backup Took about 3 hours all told the resulting tarball was 20.1MB here are my notes on the final product * Page numbers are real annoying remove * Hyperlinks go by kinda fast <maybe gather them all at the end so people can hear them again> * The default voice is kinda hard to understand <maybe a female voice would work better> There that should give everyone the jist :) If anyone wants the tarball to see how i did it let me know. I am thinking about doing all the official stuff and maybe a snapshot the most popular wiki pages. But first thing first gotta get that voice right. Cheers Matt A
