I remember that voice. I was at a sales demo once when it first came out, and I still remember how impressed I was with how fast it could go and still be understandable. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kellie Hartmann To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 8:04 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Interesting K1000 Problem Hi Tiff, My all-time favorite speech is the Keynote synth; it's robotic in the extreme but it can talk fast and it has really good inflection for punctuation. You can't use it with Kurzweil now and I don't have a Keynote synth anymore, so I got myself used to Dec-talk. It slurs when you turn the speed up too high, but I don't tend to like things more than around 270 wpm or so anyway. I don't mind Eloquence/viavoice, but you always like what you're used to which for me is keynote and Dec. Kellie
