title: A text-to-speech converter for radiology journal articles.
abstract: Radiology articles are primarily designed to be read on paper or a screen. Audio versions let users hear this material during activities when reading is not practical. Currently, there are relatively few radiology materials in audio format. However, inexpensive text-to-speech software can easily produce spoken-word versions of digital text. This paper describes a free Web-based program that converts radiology articles to audio format using text-to-speech software.
