Listen to your documents and e-mail

I am not endorsing this software or vendor, but the software struck me as welcome for some lawyers who have long commutes or an aural style. With MagneticTime software, in-house counsel can listen to their documents and e-mails. It converts Outlook e-mails and Word documents into MP3 files, which can play on a cell phone or PDA.

MagneticTime creates a new folder in Outlook and automatically copies all incoming messages. You or your assistant can select which e-mails to convert to audio files and transfer them to the MP3 player by clicking on an icon. MagneticTime comes with a desktop player so that you can also listen to e-mails or documents at your desk. The program costs $39.99.
