I want to voice record text books in a format for my son to listen to - he has dislexia. What should I buy?

Step 1: Make sure you have not only the Kindle app installed on your mobile device, but also the Audible app. It's the latter that will handle the heavy lifting, audio-wise. Update: According to Audible, the Kindle app has the necessary audio tech built in, and therefore the app itself is not required.

Step 2: The best way to see this in action is with a book that supports Whispersync for Voice. You can use Amazon's Matchmaker service to see which Kindle books you already own are able to be upgraded with audio, but you can also start with a freebie: Amazon is currently offering the classic "Black Beauty" for Kindle at no charge, with accompanying professional narration also at no charge. (After you "buy" the book, you'll see a button allowing you to "buy" the narration as well.)

Step 3: Load the Kindle app and open "Black Beauty." Tap anywhere on the screen to bring up the options menu, then look in the lower-left corner. You should see a headphone icon. Tap it, then tap the blue download arrow on the subsequent screen. This will start the download of the book's audio companion file.

Step 4: When the download is done, you'll see a familiar-looking set of play controls. Tap the big blue triangle to play/pause, or either of the quick-skip buttons to go forward or back in 30-second increments.
Step 5: To return to the text version, tap the little book icon in the lower-left corner of the screen. Because the book and audio editions stay in sync, you'll always be at the right location as you jump back and forth.

hi have you tried to see if it turns without a tape in it as this will then rule out the tape being the problem

Hi

the voice recorder should work instantly when plugged into the mac, it should show up as a removable stroage device, or a removable drive, like any other external hard drive or usb stick would on a mac.

you don't need a driver to transfer or listen to the recordings from the recorder on a mac.

I found the drivers for Win98-WinXP here: http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=364580 . My antivirus software claims it is safe. The file is an exe wrapper that launches the installer.

I hope this helps.

Save first your audio file to wav file format, then open it using Windows Media Player...

The format of these files is WAV. I think you would need to convert the file format from WAV to MP3 in order to play it on the Ipod. You will probably need to locate third party software to do this type of conversion. Then you can copy and paste the file from your computer hard drive to the Ipod.

You can find this recorder on eBay sometimes (quite a bit lately) BUT hold your wallet open REAL wide!! As they are expensive. Issue's with this recorder is that it will show FULL sometimes after a complete format (search online for the easy fix) *take out one battery/hold down MENU and PUSH in on wheel.....then reinstall battery. This will reset (i've had to do it once). Another issue with this recorder is that it will record GHOST's (EVP) but that isn't a problem because that is why I purchased mine :) Look on eBay and you MIGHT find one.....but are very expensive!!

you can rewind a tad and listen, but you can't overrecord, because a digital recorder writes audio information into a data file and saves it. you just can play it back again and record a new file. if you want to cut off a part of your recording, you have to edit the file in an audio editor. - as the olympus stores wma-files, you'll have to convert them into wav format first to edit them. i tried the 'switch' software successfully.
