Special software which is very easy to use converts the Web texts into synthetic speech using either highly compact audio MP3 files, or the WAV system compatible with most audio CD players. </div> <bR> <div> Motorists can quickly create their own customised drivetime radio services which will play back digitally through any portable MP3 player.  These include tiny pocketable players popular among youngsters for listening to pop music.  </div> <bR> <div> The digital audio files can also be played back on many new models of cell phones, hand-held computing devices (PDAs) and even some digital cameras.  Some new cars ae being equipped with factory-fitted systems that will play MP3 files from CDs, but you can achieve a similar result easily by connecting a portable MP3 player into any car radio with a CD-in socket, or by using a converter that goes into the cassette tape drive.</div> <bR> <div> For the vast majority of motorists around the world who do not want to incur the high cost of in-car MP3 players this is an attractive option.  </div> <bR> <div> Also, by using the sound card now standard in most PCs, Digital Drivetime's sound files can be transferred easily to standard analogue audio cassette tapes and CDs to listen to on the vast range of low cost portable tape and CD players already standard equipment in most cars.  </div> <bR> <div> However, this is a time-consuming analogue process compared to the rapid creation of true digital MP3 audio, and for most people it will be far more convenient and cheaper to go the digital route straightaway.  Get yourself an MP3 player and you have an easy way of getting the text from your PC into sound wherever and whenever you can listen but not read.</div> <bR> <div> For example, we have topical digital audio columns available for downloading.  These include Chris Macgowan, CEO of the UK's SMMT, giving a weekly review of the motor industry scene from a European perspective, and the controversial newsletter by Autocluster.com's Editor Colin Haynes. These two alone give you about 90 minutes of in-car automotive intelligence.</div> <bR> <div> We will be adding soon the <I>Commercial Vehicle News Brief </I>produced weekly by the SMMT communications team in England, and other specialist columns that work very well as audio.</div> <bR> <div> These provide ideal ways to get topical audio content that is not dependent on broadcast signals and will entertain and inform motorists, particularly during drivetime periods commuting to work, or when on long holiday trips.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" width=170 BGCOLOR="#006699" TEXT="#080000"> <div> text-to-speech</div> <div>  <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script>  </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
