There are now text-to-speech programs that do an adequate job of creating an audio file that you can listen to on your iPod or other MP3 player. This opens up a lot of new possibilities. You can:

–Type up notes of books so you can focus only on the most important points (or have an assistant type up the notes for you).

–Listen to memos from work

–Convert books in the public domain (that are already in an electronic text file format)

The only limit is your imagination.

At my website, http://www.poweraffirmations.com, I have posted a few free audio files you may find helpful using text-to-speech software. One file is James Allen’s classic work “As a Man Thinketh” (in the public domain).
