I am quite surprised about the number of people that prefer the
synthetic speech. I have long been in this camp, but I thought I was
the rare exception. It is good to learn that I am not all alone with
this prefereence, and this is good information to know as we continue
product development on this and other tech products.

Sarah said in an earlier message that she is part of a tiny minority
who
prefers synthetic speech to human narration.
While that club is no doubt small and exclusive, I hope and trust
there's
room for me. Even though I'm doing these NLS conversions, I prefer a
plain-text book like a Web braille title over the human narration any
day.
The choice of the DoubleTalk chip was an excellent choice as far as
I'm
concerned.
I suspect, Sarah, that there are more of us out there than we might
realize--more who enjoy synthetic speech over human narration, that is.
I'm
solidly in that group.
