Can the software turn that into copy pretty well, or is it really set up just to work with your own voice. I'm a news reporter; I tape a lot of interviews; and I'd love to be able to download them and have them turned into copy. -- Rick Smith Tom,

I ghostwrite memoirs for my clients and they're completely delighted to have a tiny audience for their book. (On average, we print 10 copies of their book.) The act of telling their stories and seeing them in print is what holds meaning for them. Sales and publicity just aren't relevant. From my perspective, I think POD has helped bring more creativity into people's lives and that's a lot more important than sale. I think you’re on to something, Tom.
