Re: [orca-list] Converting from text to MP3 files

[Hammer Attila <hammera pickup hu>]

Hy,

Perhaps not need Audacity application if you would like split the 
recorded wave file with a time period and if you not want chapter 
detection. Espeak have a very useful option with split recorded wave 
files with a time period. This is not do chapter detection, but easyest 
the navigation little if I listening books my MP3 player. I always 
converting my books with this way my hungarian audio book converter 
application.
Following example command records the book.txt file with wave files, but 
split the speech recorded output with 30 minute periods:
espeak -v en -f book.txt -w book.wav --split=30
This command creates book_01.wav, book_02.wav etc files. After this 
files is created, you easyest to convert wave files with mp3 the gogo or 
lame MP3 encoders.

Hope this helps,

Attila
