I don't know how to compress my readings to be able to email them to contacts. I have read the manual, experimented etc. and still cannot compress a reading of 1 page and a half. Can anybody help? Sound forge 8, windows xp.

What have you tried so far? MP3 is probably the most commonly used compressed format. Depending on how much quality loss you're willing to put up with you can probably compress it down under 250KB per minute. The formats used for downloading music are usually about 1.2MB per minute.

File / Save As. Pull down the file type selection menu and choose MP3. There are several templates included. If it's speaking only, there's probably no need to choose anything higher than 64Kbps. A lower bitrate will result in a smaller file, but if you go too low it will start sounding garbled. I do a lot of speaking only files at 24Kbps and what's being said is still very understandable.
