Hey,
I would like to find an app that can turn text to audio. I would like it to support daisy books, and be able to break up the tracks by chapter. thank you!

I actually do all of this by hand using the terminal and the say function. I split the files in to chapters that are txt files then run each through the say command outputing it to aiff then converting them to m4a. I did this for someone and the chapters were about 300 pages each. Each took about half an hour to voice.

hope that helps.

maybe something where i wouldn't have to split the chapters by hand? That could get annoying fast. :) I have 7 books, with anything from 17 to 38 chapters each. I only have them in daisy.
