LIBRARY OF BABEL
Someone produced this intriguing illustration of Jorge Borge's concept of the Library of Babel.
I don't know how or who. The photo was sent to me, and I hope that by posting it, one day someone
will help me identify the author so I can thank her/him for this marvelous work.
I am selecting our favorite links to put here. I think it is easy to find
a page with many link listings so there is no need to duplicate work.

REAL - AUDIO & VIDEO I'm listing my favorites. My priorities are stations with a clear sound, disc jockeys who talk slow and enunciate the consonants, and conversation, rather than music.
Elan
The link takes you to the Elam page. From there, select "Demos". It is
recommended that you change the voice speed from normal to slow. There are
to French voices, Cathy and Robert, two German voices, Thomas and Dagmar,
a Spanish voice, Rafael, and two Brazilian Portuguese voices, Pedro and
Jacqueline.
TEXT READER
I used the Infovox
Demo for a month and I liked it. It spoke clearly, it would read a document of any size, and you could ajust the speech speed with a number from1 to 50. Unfortunately, the webpage with the prices didn't work, and when I emailed the distributor to ask for a quote, I never received a reply. The download takes about 15 minutes using a 56K modem. Note: This a text reader.
It doesn't save an output file.
