Simply open the pdf in OpenBook, then open the file menu and select Save as audio. The program will generate an mp3 audio file using the selected TTS voice and save it in the location you selected. Then, you can play the mp3 using your preferred media player. It is really easy to do.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I do not have Kurzweil, but I’d guess that it has similar functionality for saving pdf files as audio.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hope that helps.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tristen Breitenfeldt<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.freedomscientific.com/Certification"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=87 height=87 style='width:.901in;height:.901in' id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image001.png@01D8EB97.B24EFE20" alt="JAWS Certified, 2019"></span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
