Nolan, you aren't the only one out there. I have been using the DoubleTalk
speech for years, and am quite pleased with it.
I don't know how many hundreds of books and files I have read with it.
Asking what is the best speech is like asking what is the best car.
All other synthesizers would require lots more memory, probably a faster
processor and more than likely, much higher cost.
I can't say enough about the Bookport. I use it daily.
For the person who was concerned about buying batteries, you certainly can use
rechargable ones.
I am using NIMH 2100 Ma batteries. I think they were around $14 for a set of 4
when I got them last year at Batteries Plus.
I already had a charger that would charge them. When the charge gets down to
about 40 percent on the Bookport I charge the other set so it is ready. I
typically get 3500 to 4500 minutes per charge. That is mostly using the
synthesized speech with a little audio mixed in.
