How to use
Download the ZIP file and extract it to any folder (your Downloads folder is fine). Click "jimlet.exe" to start the program. Add text files by dragging and dropping them into the window or by using the "Open" button, then click "Convert". The converted files appear in the same folder as the original text files. They have extensions like ".wav" or ".mp3". Open them to listen.
Note: The program works with text files only. Word files and other document formats need to be saved as plain text first.
