Plustek V100 BookReader Text to Speech (OCR/TTS) Scanner Great for Bedtime Stories

Sometimes its just so much easier to listen to text being read to you
rather than having to read it yourself and, to that end, the Plustek
V100BookReader could prove especially handy as, with just a single
button press, the V100 BookReader can convert any text to an MP3 file
via TTS that can be listened to on any compatible audio device leaving
you to just sit back, relax and take it all in. And, of course, for the
visually impaired, such functionality could prove especially handy.

Handy for listening through work related documentation as well as
scanning novels (thus turning them into audio books) as well as
newspaper articles and any other text you could possibly want to listen
to, the Plustek V100 BookReader, which is billed as 'integrates
high-speed scanning, natural voice synthesis (for read back) and highly
accurate text-to-speech and optical character recognition (OCR)
functionality, all in one device'.

Unfortunately, as OhGizmo point out, if you're intending to scan entire
novels via the Plustek V100BookReader the fact that the device comes
sans auto page turner could actually make the process of converting
books to audiobook a particularly taxing (and decidedly boring0 affair -
but, as they say, you can't have your cake and eat it, right?

The Plustek V100 BookReader will set you back around $700.
