Hi Guys 

Not 100% sure if this is the right place to ask this
What I have started to do is make all the how2 in to mp3 using the
speech 2 text tools. Not sure if some would like me to give them a copy
of this to put up on this site ( I have not change 1 thing in the text
at all ) it does take some time to do ( on my old PIII 500 Laptop but
I'm happy to do it or give you what I have to do it )

note that the file are not to small

say for this text file "3-Button-Mouse" this is 39K after this is made
to a mp3 8.4M @ 22,050 k (16 did not sound to will )


A. 
Why ?

Q. 
1. some ppl can't read will or miss thing when he/she does read 

2. some ppl like to list to this when I'm on the road on my player

Let me know what you guys think ....

Why not use Speex?

Unlike MP3, it is not encumbered by software patents, and unlike MP3, it 
is not a general-purpose codec geared mainly towards music. Instead, it 
is optimised to make sensible tradeoffs between size and quality 
specifically for recordings of speech.
