MT1 - How a Writer found it the Wright Way to Revise his Book…!

MT1 has proven a success yet again by a customer seeking to write a revised edition of his successful book!

Thomas Wright; a licensed marriage and family therapist as well as being a well known author; works alongside his wife Judy, in providing counselling services in their clinic in Minnesota.

Whilst Thomas has published several books, he was keen to revise one particular book recently, and he didn't quite know where to start. The book; entitled, "Will My Child Grow Up Okay?"; was one which Wright was keen to assess but felt that he was too close to the material to be entirely objective. This is where MagneticTime's MT1 became invaluable.

The original manuscript for "Will My Child Grow Up Okay?" was naturally a large file being an entire published book. While he was initially concerned that this would be an issue, Thomas Wright found that MT1 had no problem handling such a large file, "I used MT1 to convert the entire manuscript into an mp3 file. While the file was large, at 82 megabytes, it was not as large as I had expected. The mp3 settings on MT1 are quite lean. The resulting audio file was 6 hours long!" By listening to the manuscript in the car over the next few weeks, Thomas got "a good overall sense of what needed to be done to update the material. It was a fascinating experience to "hear" my manuscript in someone else's voice. I often thought, "boy, that's good material!" as if I were hearing someone else's lecture."

Wright found it easier to view his work objectively when he heard it in someone else's voice, other than his own. It has allowed him to critically assess the areas for improvement, and he is currently working on his revised book.

Having used other text-to-speech software in the past, Thomas Wright was familiar with the concept prior to using MT1. However, he believes that "the vocal inflection within the Platinum Voice is far superior to voices in other products." He felt this was important, as the flow of thought in hearing his manuscript was vital in compiling his thoughts for the revised edition. Thomas Wright also thought that "having the MagneticTime button on a menu bar in Microsoft Word was amazing!"

Software products such as these, should provide relevant benefits to the user, and be relatively easy to use. This is why it was important that the integration of MT1 with an mp3 player was virtually seamless. Wright felt that "MT1's ease of use was superior". Through ongoing development of MT1, an additional feature will be launched whereby users will be able to create a play list of chapters, to organize and sort large manuscripts.

Thomas Wright has found MT1 to be an ideal solution to his writing requirements and has been telling friends and associates to try it out. For more information on Thomas Wright's new publication, see his website at www.wrightaroundthecorner.com
