Hey Walt, sorry about that, details are getting by me today. <Grin>
I have loaners here, and they don't sound different from mine, but that could
just be my ears.

As I mentioned, both units are running precisely the same firmware. Besides,
my own unit never sounded like the loaner I'm using at the moment.

Hi Walt,
My guess is that the BP you're using now hasn't been updated to firmware
v2.0. When that firmware came out, there was a substantial difference in
the voice, mainly concerning frequency. Does this BP have a frequency
option in the settings, and if so, have you played around with it? This
might help, at least somewhat. I had the opposite reaction, I liked the
original speech a lot, and wish it hadn't changed, but I've gotten used to
it as long as I remember to crank up the frequency a point or three.
Sarah

Maybe one of the APH technical folks can comment on this one. I'm
temporarily using another BP unit that seems to be considerably older than
mine and I swear that there's a significant difference in the speech,
despite its having the same firmware on it. Over the life of the BP, have
there been changes in the Doubletalk voice synthesis? I'm finding the
temporary unit much harder to understand--especially on glottal sounds--than
the one I'm used to.
