Transferring MP3 Audio only from an OCR Program (Kurzweil)

There are a variety of Optical Character Recognition Software (OCR) programs that allow for the scanning of materials.  The ClassMate Reader can play files that are in the MP3 format.  Newer programs allow for this option.  These files may be transferred as audio for the purposes of hearing the text with the capacity to select voices and rates by the software.  The ClassMate allows you to enter text notes, bookmarks, and voice notes with the capacity to alter playback speed.
