Microsoft is rolling out DAISY. A software add-in  that will generate typed text in Word Document into AUDIO files. Yes. For those of us who are too lazy to read. You can begin generating audio files of your text documents and reading them while you drive. If Microsoft is making this free and rolling it out on every Microsoft Office Word, expect there to be a revolution in the way we get information from text. If popular enough, people might even do away with alot of printing, affecting printers, paper and inkjet sellers.

What will become more popular:-

1) Car stereos that plays mp3 from thumbdrives

2) Portable MP3 players like ipod, iphone, mp3 phones, etc.

Or maybe the robot like voice will turn off many listeners, and the time consuming factor of not able to browse through the whole text.

But If I have an ebook, e-magazine, or whatever that I'm currently reading, I'd want to listed to it to save time when I'm transiting, waiting for people or walking somewhere or maybe.. in the toilet.

Which brings into topic another hit. Audio book sales.

Depends on how this turns out, it may affect much more beyond blind people. Will the DAISY Digital Talking Book cost money or will it be free?
