To each his own, I suppose, but quality is in the ears of the listener. I like the AT&T voices as well as Eloquence, but the Microsoft voices are extremely inferior, at least to me.

I using the Bookport feature to send a book in text format to the Bookport as an audio file so that the Bookport can read the book in a high-quality SAPI5 voice.

This is taking a long, long time (as might be expected). Not only does this tie up the Bookport for quite some time, but I know that the Bookport batteries drain when it is connected to the USB port.

Is there a way of using the Bookport queuing system to pre-process the text-formatted book into an audio format before connecting the Bookport? In this way I would only have to tie up my comuter for the transfer time and not the entire processing time to transform the book from text to audio.

Thanks.
