I personally love my stream.
I use an external speaker and the speech quality is good....I also
use a head set and it works great and can also understand it clearly
without a speaker of headset but the quality isn't as high.
I love being able to have so many books to read in such a small
package and its very user friendly.

Hi George,
I currently have TextAloudMP3 and I do a similar thing. I convert
the books to MP3 files and load them onto an mp3 player. I was just
hoping to avoid that step by using a device that would speak the
text without the mp3 step.
Thanks for your reply.

Hi Dan:
As for the voices on Victor Stream: It is a very low quality speach
synthesizer, Victor says Eloquence requires more memory than they
have available in the stream and could not be done without a
complete new unit. Now I don't know if you have OpenBook8 or
Kurzweil 11, but if so here is a nice work around for Bookshare
books: I download the book bring it up in Kurzweil and convert it
to MP3, using Kurzweils eloquence voice, then play it in other
books. Both OpenBook and Kurzweil both have versions of Eloquence.
Now as you probably know NLS books are human voice recordings and
play fine on the stream.
HTH,
George R. Marshall

HI all,
I apologize for this question here but I know no one else who has
nay of these devices.
I listened to the sample voices on the HumanWare site and they
were severely breathy and distorted. Is this due to listening on
the site across the internet or is it really like that listening
to the device itself?
Thanks.
