But I don't think anybody has been prosecuted for making a copy of legally acquiered material for their own personal use, for example making DVD of a film from TV. |

sure, own personal use is under the radar & unlikely to attract attention
I was actually more suprised that the site allowed detailed how-to prescriptions for getting around the DRM which is protecting the e-book and thus also protecting the TTS ? , given that such discussions are usually verboten & ban inducing |

ok - your site, your rules.
seems to me you are discussing how to obtain unprotected audio from an encrypted source, but hey, I'm not a lawyer. So only the written words in an ebook are the author's IP ? Knowingly uploading a copyright ebook is an instant ban but sharing an audio file of it being "read" would be OK - because Making an audio recording of the output from a TTS application has nothing whatsoever to do with DRM ? .... but perhaps this is not the place for that discussion |

PS google has many legal references. read them ( aloud if you must) if interested.
e.g. http://www.jetlaw.org/journal-archiv...copyright-law/ https://sunsteinlaw.com/read-it-alou...kindle-reader/ |

It has nothing to do with DRM, but it would be a breach of copyright, and would equally earn you a one-way ticket off the site. The OP, however, is not proposing to distribute the recordings to anyone, and format conversion for personal use is legal in many jurisdictions.

Ok, straw man argument.:
if someone takes that allowed audio file and uses it as input to Dragon narutally speaking software... then prints the results.. at what step did that become drm circumvention ? |

What if, what if, what if...
I'm sure we can all think of ways in which pretty much any technology could be abused. None of which has any relevance for the original poster's perfectly reasonable desire to have his ebooks read with TTS. |

http://www.voicedream.com/reader/ Maybe the new forms of web layout confuse me, but that page does confuse me a bit. I don't really see any basic explanatory text, and I'm not sure what the links lead to. But I still have it, and I've now bought the app. |

FWIW - to make an audio-book I open the book (normally EPUB, always with no DRM) in Balabolka (Windows), choose a suitable voice, save as MP3, and copy to my MP3 player.
If format shifting between textual formats for personal use is permissible in a given jurisdiction, surely format shifting from a textual to an audible format would be equally permissible. And, I thought DRM was merely a means to deter breach of the creators IPR, and that its absence doesn't mean a work isn't protected under IPR law. Apparently Gene Simmons is claiming trademark on a hand gesture BR |

I'm trying to do exactly this with my kindle keyboard TTS feature. I have a windows computer with both a audio jack and microphone jack. How would I go about recording? Do I plug my kindle headphone jack to the stereo to mono adapter? |

That said, with some source devices you may need a stereo>mono adapter in the chain. With TTS, the voice will almost always to send equally to both output channels so using a simple mono cable or a stereo cable without the stereo>mono adapter will get all of the audio information. The primary problem is that the headphone output from the source device (K3 Keyboard in your case) is a massively stronger signal than a microphone input, on the recording device, is designed to handle. You may be able to adjust the Kindle's volume low enough to work. Failing that, you need to track down a patch cord or adapter that contains a "limiting resistor" to reduce the signal level. If your computer has a set of Aux level audio inputs in addition to the microphone input things can be easier. You simply use a stereo patch cable with a 3.5mm stereo plug on one end, to connect to the Kindle, and a pair of RCA Phono plugs on the other, to connect to the Left and Right Aux inputs on the computer. Aux level inputs can generally handle most headphone output signals, though the output volume will need to be set fairly low. |
