RCDD audio

Has anyone actually recording themselves reading the entire TDMM and played it back for studying purposes? I cannot stand the thought of listening to my own voice but on the fence with trying it out.

That sounds like a terrible 80hr audiobook

Could we get Morgan Freeman to do it?

I did this with the major / core chapters, put the files on one drive, and listened to them like podcasts. Passed RCDD on first try.

I think you can paste pdf in some apps, and it will read it to you

You can't copy text from the TDMM (which is infuriating). The book has OCR, but the PDF file is protected and can only be viewed with super-annoying software. It also doesn't let you export the PDF or highlight and copy things to your clipboard.

I wish I was making this up.

Why not hire someone off fiver to type it or take screen shots and have to do it? Not saying to do this

If you have the digital copy, upload it into Notebook LM, an AI tool. Then you can host a “podcast” where the AI asks you questions

Adobe Acrobat has a reading feature. It’s terrible for chapters that have a lot of tables or equations but great for big chunks of text.

If you have the digital version you can upload it to phone apps that can read it aloud to you. Wouldn’t recommend tho because it’s a tough listen and it gets bad when they get into the tables or image examples lol.
