Hi Lou, Personally, I never heard another voice I liked as much as the BNS voice until Eloquence. I think this is because it was easy for me to understand that voice at its fastest setting, and it was the first synthetic speech I ever used extensively. I'd trade in my current BP in a heartbeat for an identical one that used the BNS voice. Doubletalk is OK, but it's nothing like that BNS voice. I do wish it could read a bit faster. But, given all that I can do with my BP, I'll gladly put up with *not* having that BNS voice. <grin> Angie On Tue, 12 Jul 2005 20:31:34 -0400, Lou Kolb wrote: >I have to say that, given the access the BP afords, I'd even put up with the >Braille 'n Speak voice.
