Larry, there is another factor which affects the voices in Bookport ? its not volume, pitch or frequency. I had thought it was frequency, but now that we are able to vary that, I can tell its not. It has to do with the level of crispness or clearness of the pronunciation. It first appeared in Beta 15 when the voices changed. The pronunciation was actually clearer. But there was also a certain tightness or tautness to the sound that I could not listen to for any length of time. Finally in Beta 22 it went away. The sound was looser ? actually less clear ? but I could listen once again for hours at a time. Now with Beta 23 that tautness has returned and my Bookport has again become the proverbial doorstop. Any idea what causes that tautness ? I can?t think of a better word?
