Audio Flashcards

I printed off Eric's flashcards and then read them outloud into a tape recorder. I commute about an hour to work one way. I review the cards each day and then listen to the tapes. I end up being able to see the cards in my mind as I hear the tape. It's a nice way to drill the topics into my head. I went back and recorded any cards in topics where I was having trouble. In all I have about two hours of taped gmat review that help me stay focused.

I'll be so glad when I can stop listening to them.

Any chance you can digitize those audiotapes and share them on this forum?

Not sure, Let me look into it. If nothing else I could rerecord them into the audio recorder on my PC and send out the wav file. Let me figure out what I can do.

If you go open Adobe Reader, there is a feature that the program reads the document that you have. It doesn´t work with all documents, but it does with the ones that are not a copy of something. I tried it a little while ago with Eric´s flashcards. The bad thing is that the reading is just horrible, but at least is an option. I don´t know if you guys can take it, I just can´t. Anyway to get into this option open adobe, then go to view and then go to read out loud.

I've gotten a lot of requests for my audio recordings. I appreciate the interest. My problem is that I get home from work around 7PM and play with my kids for a while. Then I talk with my wife, and if I'm lucky I get in a few hours of GMAT study. I know that converting the analog tapes to digital will take me a few hours of playing around with wires and software. I don't want to take the time right now.

I would suggest that if you think that an audio recording of the flashcards would help you, you should just take niney minutes and read them into a recording device. The process will help you remember the concepts. I felt like this was a good thing for me because now my flashcards are organized in the same order as I read them into my cassette tapes.

I'd like to help everyone, but really you'd be better recording them yourself for the experience.

Who out there has a good voice for all of us to listen to? Laughing
