I don't think you can use them with Open book. as OB doesn't allow you to
change synths, at least I haven't been able to find.
When I first installed them, they did slow things down a bit, but after
doing a defrag and a scandisk, things got back to normal.
I do notice that if I am scanning in grayscale and 400 dpi and using the
Naturals, that sometimes them entire voice part of Kurzweil won't work.
This happens rarely but is annoying which is why I use the Naturals for
reading after the scan is done.
I have played with Text aloud, I think it is called from www.nextup.com
and it works well.

Hi All,
In addition to E's question about k1k, how about Openbook, does anyone use
it with that?
Regardless, of whatever you use AT&T Natural Voices with, how does it
perform on your computers? Does it slow your system down noticeably, slow
it down at all, crash your system as VIA Voice seems to do, etc.?
I am really intrigued with Charles and Audrey, but as they are extra cost
items which jack up the price significantly, and I've been burned so many
times getting software that seemed pretty cool before hand and than turned
out to be a dud, I'd like some feedback from end users.
Thanks,
Dave
