Actually precise pete is logically the bost voice for reading, it takes out
the bass so it makes the voice more articulate.

It is under the settings choices that are available after pressing Zero.
I guess I would describe it as being similar to saying tone. The voice is
not changed, but the tone of that voice is changed.
I hope that people will agree or give it a better definition. I think it
also can help a lot in making a particular voice clearer and sharper or
softer and less brilliant.

Frequency, don't remember seeing that anywhere.
What is it, and, where is it, and what does it do.

Phil,
For me it's precise Pete, pitch 65, frequency 5 and speed 8 or 9 unless
it's something I need to read very carefully, in which case I drop down to
7. Lou

I have had my book port now for three years plus and I am pleased
with some features and wonder about some others. Obviously the navigation in
a plain text book is just wonderful and even in an audio book is not bad.
The transferring of material from the book port manager to ones unit is even
strait forward enough for a computer neophyte like my self. I think I would
give book port a passing grade if I was ask to.
My only complaint would be the speech engine and I have even gotten
kind of use to that. I do however wonder about the two voices, I think they
are called something like, repeating Robert and echo Eddy, you know the
ones. Only difference I see in them is ones digital repeat is a little
faster then the other. I suppose my question is just this, does anyone
really use either of these voices to read material?
I have settled on perfect Paul at around pitch 65 that seams to be
best for Me to understand. I would be curious as to what voices others use
and at what pitch.
Thanks for your indulgence, an old curmudgeon who's name is, Phil
Parr.
