Sound in BBeB (SONY LRF)

RajeshKumar · 12-13-2007, 07:19 AM

Friends,

Can somebody give me a clue on setting up sound in LRF file. It should be similar to the feature in Microsoft Reader, where it reads text when we open the LIT file.

Thanks,
Rajesh

The Sony does not permit one to have sound "embedded" in a book, to the best of my knowledge; I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

LRF does support embedded sounds, although I'm not sure if Reader supports that feature properly (e.g. it doesn't support PopUp windows which work fine on Librie).
However, I suspect you're actually looking for text-to-speech function, and that one is not available.

I played around with sound in LRF I could not get it to work
IMO it's not supported in the Reader

Thank you all for the response.

It would have been great advantage for Sony reader if it had provided that feature because the text display in the device is cool and also the device supports MP3, AAC.

Agreed. It could be great for people learning languages.
Text and sound in synch.

If you get it to work please let us know.
maybe I missed something.
