One voice name sounds like "Jacob" to me. I use him and Perfect Paul
sometimes. I think they are the ones I can understand the most. Maybe
someday we shall have better voices on the BC. I can hope. Meantime,
jacob; to me, he sounds like the most patient one.

Personally I don't have a problem with DoubleTalk speech. I use "Big Bob",
which seems just right for my ears.
Cheers,

Hi:
I don't like the doubletalk voices, find some words hard to understand. I
am a long time user of speech synthesizers, going back to the old TSI Vert
systems. I spoke to the tech at BC, he said Eloquence was too expensive but
they are working on a SAPI5 speech engine, I think this would improve the BC
immensely. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
George R. Marshall

Hi
If you are putting it into a word pad document I think the Bookcourier
should be able to understand it, it is able to access text documents but not
Word, you'd have to save it as a text document. I like the voice on the
Bookcourier but I don't think I'd like to listen to a whole document or book
in it. You could download a program called textrecorder, its free and this
can convert things into MP3 format so you can put it on the BC. If I can
help further feel free to contact me off list.
Textrecorders web site is:

Happy reading.
Regards
Diane

Dear Diane,
I have the manual. Now, I am scanning a book with a scanner from a
paperback, but it is a new scanner much smaller than a flatbed. It's my
book, so I can rip pages out. I am saving the book, one page at a time in
Wordpad. Can I transfer this book later to my Book Courier and be able to
read it?
