Thanks, but I believe this Mariner Software narrates something
already typed. There is also software that transcribes your voice,
like Dragon Naturally Speaking. I have the Windows version and my
Windows is dozed.<br>
<br>
Audacity is good for the recording part (Thanks CW). The manual is
written for Windows, not Mac, and I need to look for a good
tutorial. It's probably my best bet until I get Win-doze awakened.
Thanks again, any other comments welcome, too.<br>

There is software for Macs that lets you speak into the computer
and it 'writes' what you've spoken -
