Hello all:
Well, let me respond here, since I was the one who asked this question to begin
with. I appreciate the people who were kind enough to simply answer my question
and quickly send me in the right direction. For example, in this situation I
did downlaod the beta update. I have avoided doing that in the past. So, I was
quite unfamiliar with betas.
Those who have taken the time to read all the documentation and to become
expert at the Book Port you might wish to be think of yourselves as helpful
"Book Port buddies" instead of giving out sour grapes to other people.
It has taken me a good deal of time to become familiar with the Book Port.
There are so many key combinations for doing lots of different things. Reading
the manual often gets confusing and difficult to remember. Someone on the
listserv recommended going to appendix A to review these items. That was a
great suggestion for me. I review it frequently so I don't forget all those key
options.
Additionally, many people commented on the listserv about using the DoubleTalk
voices and how much they like them. This conversation helped get me over the
hurdle. So now I too love using Precise Pete for all of my reading. I have
found the speaking rate and pitch that are best for me. Without the help of the
listserv I would still feel lost and uncomforatable with my Book Port.
The best thing about a listserv is that there should be no questions considered
too dumb to ask. I have appreciated all of the help that I get from this
listserv. I want to feel welcome in asking and interacting on the Book Port
listserv.
