as my hsc is nearing, i want my typed up notes in audio form so i could try hypnopedia (learning in my sleep). is there a program i could use that would somehow transform my notes with a speech program?

is there such a thing?

Macintosh Operating Systems has an excellent text editor that also has the ability to speak out the text for you. I haven't been on a Mac for years now I'm just guessing the program name to be "Simple Text".

TextAloudmp3 might do the job. Didn't Pavlov try his conditioning experiments with dogs on humans, onto to have it fail? Once we're asleep, I don't think the brain commits audio to memory very well. You'll end up having wacked dreams about pi and logarithms :p:p

Haven't you read Brave New World? Hypnopedia is only effective with moral judgements! ;)

I think it works if you listen to it before you sleep.

Most text-to-speech programs don't translate overly technical phrases very well, so I hope you're only typing using simple English :p

Wouldn't it be faster to just read the notes and record yourself, then play it back while you're sleeping? :p

You realise that this may increase your anxiety/stress levels, and prevent you from sleeping during the night. :p

im going to be doing this too.. not while im sleeping, just like when im walking etc.. umm, mednez recommended me a program called.. textaloud, and it converts text to speech, and then u can record them as wav. files, so u can jut do that.. though the voices are very mechanical, and they'll just crack you up :p
AT least u'll remember stuff! :p

I think that the idea of recording them yourself and then just play them is the easiest. And you should probably listen to them before you sleep, or on your way to school etc
