Thanks to Ian Forshaw's labours, anyone with a fairly modern computer and some
patience can make audio MP3 recordings of the articles listed here, a most
In the very first, April 1977-published, "Kintyre Magazine", A. I. B. Stewart,
President of The Kintyre Antiquarian and Natural History Society, wrote that
"In an age when scholarship is at a discount and change is regarded by many as
synonymous with improvement, it seems to me that it becomes all the more
important to look over our shoulders at the lives and achievements of our ancestors,
for only by understanding the past can we prepare for the future".
The aim of The Kintyre Antiquarian and Natural History Society's twice-yearly
magazine was therefore "to give some permanence to the work done by 'The
Kintyre Antiquarians' in recording Kintyre's past history and in recording the natural
features of Kintyre's beautiful environment".
Thanks to Campbeltonian Ian Forshaw, the story recorded in his article "Antiquity
and Technology" (Kintyre Magazine No 46, Autumn 1999, pages 28/29), many of
the early magazine articles, including many by the present magazine editor Angus
Martin himself, were put online on 'The Kintyre Mag' website between 1997 and
2006 and though, 'for personal reasons', Ian Forshaw has added no more material
to his website added since the end of February 2006, he has continued to keep 'The
Kintyre Mag' website online and that valuable archive of articles may be easily
trawled given the contents indexes here.

wonderful way of releasing these resources to anyone who may be blind or visually
handicapped and too for anyone on the move and otherwise be 'too busy' to read
these articles online at home.
THOUGH FEW PEOPLE PROBABLY KNOW
If one has Adobe Reader version 7.0 or later and go simply open a file and go to the
drop-down menu at View and click on Read Out Aloud / Activate Read Out Aloud
/ Read This Page OR Read To End of Document and the file will be read out to
them.
One could try recording the Adobe "default" voice track by going to the START
button at the bottom left of the screen and then All Programs / Accessories /
Entertainment / Sound Recorder but, the results aren't very good AND, the main
drawback of that suggested routing in that one can only "Save As" .wav format
audio files, which then have to be converted to MP3 files !
In any case, PDF files, despite their "compression", are generally quite large in size
and can take some time to load e.g. a 24.6 mb PDF file could take some 15 minutes
to download at just 0.6 mbs internet speed, Microsoft Word .doc and Text Only .txt
files will both downloading 'almost instantly' and one should register with a service,
in the U.K., such as http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ so that you can test your
broadband internet speed before downloading any documents.
Even though Microsoft Word 2003 and later editions and some other word
processing programs can be set up to read documents, though not always directly
record an audio file copy of the "text-to-spech (TTS)" conversion, some searching
around the many and variously available "text-to-speech (TTS)" programs, both
free and otherwise, on the internet, suggests, for most purposes, that one might
consider downloading D-Speech , a free program, from Dimio's Tools at
http://dimio.altervista.org/eng/ - Scroll nearly half-way down the page and you'll
see it.
DOWNLOADING and INSTALLING DSpeech
Click on Download DSpeech v1.55.1 (Windows NT/2000/XP/VISTA) ca 800 KB
and once you've installed that, Click on To open PDF files, you must download the
DSpeech PDF Plug-In (ca 250 KB), just underneath "Other components you need
to install" - Unzip this 'plug-in' file to your Desktop, most computers can do this
without having to download a special program, such as 7-Zip at http://www.7-
zip.org/ and you simply right click on the zip file on your Desktop (screen), select
Open, Extract, and again choose Desktop - You'll now see a new folder on your
screen, DSpeech PDF Plug-In - Again right-click and Copy.
Next, go to and click on the Start button at the bottom left of your screen and then
double click on My Computer, double click on C-drive and, scrolling down, on
Program Files and, again scrolling down, on the DSpeech folder - Now, simply
go to the top, main, toolbar and go Edit / Paste (or and put the DSpeech PDF
Plug-In into the DSpeech program along with all the other files.
Open the DSpeech PDF Plug-In folder and Copy and Paste the pdftotext.exe icon
into the the main area of the DSpeech program files, as you did before with the
unzipped file folder.
Your computer should already have a "default voice" - Go to Start / Control Panel
and double-click on Speech and then on Text-To-Speech where you'll see the
"default voice" under 'Voice Selection' - Turn on your speakers ( ! ) and click on
Preview Voice - In all probability you won't like the "default voice" and, even if
you find that you have a choice of voices already installed, you will need to find
something easier on the ear.
If your computer runs an earlier operating system than Windows XP, the "default
voice" is most likely one of the older SAPI 4 voices, these now generally available
for free and most sounding like "Daleks" - Windows XP and Vista use the new
SAPI 5 voices and "Microsoft Sam (Speech Articulation Module) is a commonly-
shipped SAPI 5 voice. In addition, Microsoft Office XP and Office 2003 installed
L&H Michael and Michelle voices. The SAPI 5.1 SDK installs 2 more voices, Mike
and Mary. Windows Vista includes Microsoft Anna which replaces Microsoft Sam.
Anna is designed to sound more natural and offer greater intelligibility. Microsoft
Anna is also installed on Windows XP by Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 and later
versions" says Wikipedia at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_Application_Programming_Interface
So, going back to the DSpeech downloads on Dimitrio's Tools' page, under "Other
components you need to install", select what you need, either, on Windows XP, if
you want use SAPI 4 voices, you must install SAPI 4. Download it here (800 KB)
or, on Windows NT4/2000 you must install SAPI 5, you can download it here or
here (6 MB).
2
Regardless, because the DSpeech program can work with both SAPI 4 and SAPI 5
voices, you can download the older style SAPI 4 voices for free by scrolling down
to near the bottom of the TextAloud's page at
http://www.nextup.com/TextAloud/SpeechEngine/voices.html#morefreevoices -
TextAloud is a good text-to-speech program but, it costs $29.95, about £ 18.00
(including VAT) at current rates of exchange AND then you will also have to pay
around £18 to £20 for EACH of the newer SAPI 5 voices, which is why the
DSpeech program will be more financially appealing for most people.
Luckily, DSpeech has a download link for a free SAPI 5 voice, Emily, which you
can find by scrolling further down the DSpeech download page to "Where find the
Voices" and you should click on "RealSpeak : They are good voices and it seems
that Microsoft will integrate them by default on Windows Vista - British English
Now, before opening and experimenting with the DSpeech program, go to Start /
My Documents and, right-clicking in the main area of the window, New Folder
and title it something like My TTS Conversions, meaning Text-To-Speech
conversions.
At last, double-click on the peculiarly-looking DSpeech icon on your Desktop to
open the program, and though an "Open File Security Warning" notice, citing
DSpeech.exe, will appear every time you do this, simply click Run and the
DSpeech will open, an animated picture of the 'voice character' appearing in the
little window, at the top right of the program.
Go along the toolbar to Options and click on either "Use SAPI 4 voices" or "Use
SAPI 5 voices" and then go to File / Open and choose your first document to read,
perhaps you should read the DSpeech (ENG).txt file to learn a little about the
program ! This is the only 'Help File' for the program and you'll have to learn
everything else by experimentation !
Having (above) selected the type of voice your are going to use, SAPI 4 or SAPI 5,
click on the Voice Select box drop-down arrow and find out 'who' is there and
choose (if there is more than one option) 'who' you want - The 'character picture'
will change as you select different voices and each 'character' will, IF YOU'VE
REMEMBERED to TURN YOUR SPEAKERS ON, announce his or herself !
Beware of the SAPI4 voices, for "they have worse quality but are easier to find and
downloadable for free; the best are L&H TrueVoice : They have a good voice
sampling, but wav and MP3 conversions are very slow" - Download British THE KINTYRE MAG
English here.

That done, click the cursor into the start of the text that you want read and click on BACK ISSUES FROM THE YEAR 1997
Speak - Everything that follows about using the program is relatively obvious
AND relatively simple.

TO MAKE AN MP3 of the text-to-speech conversion, your text open and the
cursor placed at the start of the text - Click on File / save wav, mp3, ogg as ... - The North Carolina Connection Angus MacVicar 01 - April 1977 Page 2
Then Save in My Documents / My TTS Conversions AND MAKE SURE THAT
you a) Type in the FILE NAME (as you want it) AND also SAVE AS MP3, rather Kintyre in Ontario Efric Wotherspoon 01 - April 1977 Page 3
than a WAV or OGG type file - Now click SAVE.

box will tell you the progress of the file 'converting to wav ... ' - The program will Largie J. R. Maxwell-MacDonald 01 - April 1977 Page 5
First convert to the wav-format and then tell you that is is 'encoding to MP3', the
whole process, in the case of the suggested DSpeech (ENG).txt file, taking little
more than a minute or two.

Now go to Start / My Documents and look for and Open up the 'new' My TTS
Conversions folder, where you will find your finished MP3 conversion, double
click on it to listen to the file which, like any other MP3 file, you can later transfer
to an MP3 player etc. etc.

Now, if you have downloaded the DSpeech PDF Plug-In folder and successfully
followed the instructions for installing the 'plug-in', you will find that you can use
the DSpeech program to read almost every one of your text files.

You can do a lot of things with the DSpeech program despite the lack of any
instructions and there is even a Speech Recognition 'plug-in' for it, which could be
fun ! On Windows NT4/2000/XP, if you want use the Speech Recognition
features, you must install the MS-Recognition Engine as well. Download it here (30
MB).
