"Reading" in your car on the way to work (if you use OS X):
1. Copy the text of the ascii or PDF and paste it into TextEdit. Then Format > Make Plain Text.
2. Save it as Unicode UTF-8.
3. From a shell:
say -v Bruce -f whitepaper.rtf.txt -o whitepaper.aiff
4. Open whitepaper.aiff in iTunes: File > Add To Library.
5. In iTunes, go to your Library folder, and locate the file.
6. Double click it.
7. Click the Burn Disc button in the upper right corner of the iTunes window.
8. Play it in your car just like any audio CD.
Comments:
This could obviously be scripted. It relies on the "say" command in OS X which underlies the Speech feature built into the OS.
