Hope some of us are charter members of the Double Talk Fan Club. We meet
in
Nolan's attic when the moon is full. Smile! Glad the headphones
improved
the sound quality. Happy reading!

Wow!
I sponed quite a lively discussion about double talk.
This has been interesting.

.Hey, Nolan, if you notice some scurrying about in the attic, it's not
.necessarily a rat! <lol lol> Guess we're members of that same tiny
.minority!

.I've followed today's discussion on the merits or lack thereof of the
.DoubleTalk speech, and this isn't the first time it's come up on this
list.
.You know, there's just no accounting for some people's tastes. Take me,
for
.instance. I guess I'm the ultimate troglodyte primitive caveman on the
.list. I love the DoubleTalk speech that comes with the Book Port. I
enjoy
.it so much, in fact, that I own three--count'em--three DoubleTalk LT
.synthesizers, and I routinely hang them off the back of every computer I
.own. Now surely this makes me the haplessly messed up list member--the
.crazy relative in the attic no one wants to talk to and everyone wants to
.talk about.
.
.For what it's worth, thank you, APH staff, for licensing the DoubleTalk
.speech or building RC System's chips into your device or whatever you did
to
.get the DoubleTalk voice in there. I certainly mean no disrespect to
others
.who prefer other speech synthesizers, and I realize I'm in the tiny
minority
.here with regard to how much I enjoy the DoubleTalk. Where the Book Port
is
.concerned, I use the default voice and pitch, drop the frequency to
three,
.and crank the rate to 9. That's pretty much narrator nirvana for me.
:-)
.
.Nolan, who's going back into the attic now that he's disrupted the list's
.digital dinner party or civil discourse or whatever it is we're engaged
in.
.LOL
