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?
