Audio books

I tried to find this as well, but had no luck. I would have loved listening to my books while driving or running. I even asked my professors, and they had no idea where I could find this.

This is our million dollar idea... :)

I know right! So sad for us though

sorry for the double post...first time using the board.

Thank you for this feed. At least I can stop looking! I was going to try the text-to-speech TTS accessibility option in windows for my powerpoints and personal notes. I was also wondering if anyone has used Dragon software to try to create a transcript of recorded lectures...??? I am also wondering if anyone has a strong opinion for/against eText versions of their textbooks. My art book eText actually came with a built in audio and it helped tremendously!

(...Also wondering if anyone is getting a post time 4hr+ than their time zone??...It is not 3:41 AM...11:41PM?)

At my college we are not aloud to record lectures, so I have not used dragon. That as well would be helpful though, our textbooks do have companion sites through evolve. But no audio to listen to for my commute or if there is I have not figured it out yet.

If you're an auditory learner, one thing that helped me was recording myself reading aloud what I needed to review, and then I could listen to this in the car. It's not quite the lecture or textbook, but it's nice that it doesn't include all of the other stuff, just what YOU need to review. I did this a lot before exams.

That's so weird. I did exactly this, recording myself reading some of the stuff from the textbook. Unfortunately, I didn't end up actually listening to it, which made my hoorifice voice all for naught, but still.

For me, the combo of rewriting, then reading aloud, then listening really helped beat it into me. I think even if I didn't necessarily listen to it, I would retain more than I would had I not read it aloud.

Touche. Auditory doesn't help me too much, I'm more of a visual/tactile learner. So writing it out and looking over my notes, along with my little doodles, help me remember much more. Speaking of which, I should probably finish studying for my exam tomorrow...
