Books to Audio – How to Convert Printed Books to Audio Books Manually?

By Walfajri

Books to Audio >> If you want to convert printed books to audio book, you need the right recording equipment and an audio program. Some free audio programs can be downloaded from Internet, or you can buy one. You can convert books to audio book in different file formats either in CD burning software or in MP3 format, so your audio book will be available to people in the format they like.

Converting printed books to audio books is a simple process that requires only time and few materials.

Instructions:

1.        Before converting printed books to audio books, practice the material from the book or article in order to be acquainted with the material. Read the material out loudly to yourself, family, or friends, so you are certain how to pronounce words that are difficult.
2.        Get recording software to record printed books to audio books. Some home computers include built-in microphones and recording software such as QuickTime, which can be used to record the audio book.
3.        Determine where you want to record printed books to audio books. This should be an area that does not have much echo, and where you can read comfortably.
4.        Record the material with the recording software. Read the book or article aloud in the microphone using clear and precise tones. Do not mumble or speak too softly into the microphone. Convey the emotion in the words so the recording of printed books to audio books will not be dull.
5.        Space your recordings over multiple sessions of about one hour if you are recording long books or articles so the recordings of books to audio books do not get tiring or too long. CDs will only hold about one hour's worth of MP3 files.
6.        Save the recording as an MP3 file. Burn the recording onto a blank CD. If there are multiple recordings, number the CDs so the recordings are played in proper sequence.
