Using a program that converts text into speech and a licensed voice from Cepstral, I have created an audio book of James Allen's classic "As a Man Thinketh."  Written in the early 1900's, his original work is in the public domain.  You can download the file for free at http://www.poweraffirmations.com/audio/jamesallen.zip.  The file format is m4b (a version of mpeg 4).  I used this format because if you have an IPod, this format uses an electronic bookmark so that if you go to listen to something else, you can come back to this recording without losing your place.  If you need a free player to listen to this file on your computer (and convert it to other formats, copy to CD, etc.), you can download Apple's Itunes at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download.  The file for the audio book is 14.4 megabytes, so may take a while to download depending on your connection.

The software and voice I used to convert the text into speech definitely sounds electronic.  It's not perfect, but isn't as difficult to listen to and understand as you might think.  You can listen to a short example of what this will sound like at http://www.poweraffirmations.com/audio/example.mp3.

At least at this time, I am not charging anything to download this audio book.  All I ask is that you tell 5-10 other people about the site to help them.  Let's work together to fill the world with positive thought.
