Dear All.
Be Cured. Free of charge. I've added a new translation of Ovid's
Remedia Amoris..the Cures for Love.. to the Ovid site at:
http://www.tkline.freeserve.co.uk Ovid and Others
As usual .doc, .htm, and .pdf versions are available.
I'm also experimenting with the help of Nick Hodson in the use of Fonix
speech synthesiser to read the Amores and output in various sound
formats (MP3, DSP, PCM..of which dsp appears to be the best for my
purpose..I can recommend the Yahoo Media Player to play all these formats
and many more..downloadable from yahoo.com). I'm hoping it might be
possible to offer this sort of thing and/or text plus dictionaries for
the Fonix software itself (for those who have it), so that the
blind/partially sighted and others might be able to download (or have
it downloaded for them) and listen rather than read. I think it's
unlikely to be perfect yet, for technology reasons (quality, size of
ouput files etc) but it's not too far off from the early experiments.
Regards
Tony
