Regarding the comments about section navigation being unavailable with 
neospeech, is this for all SAPI voices, or just
Neospeech? 

Thanks
Tim

Hi Rick and list:

Yes, Kate and Paul are neospeech voices. If you have them, they can be used 
for text and braille files with book port's send as audio feature. But you 
need to understand that you can't use them if you want to use section 
navigation in the files. Certainly, as you go through the file on the book 
port, you can set bookmarks at crucial points. You can easily return to 
those later.

Cheers,
Dave
