Hello Phil:
I used perfect Paul to do all my reading. I used to use around pitch 50 but I
gotten used to the defaulted 60. I think a number of the voices are simply
electronic modifications of the basic voice. I used to make MP3s of my books
using AT&T natural voices or Neospeech voices. But now that I've gotten used
perfect Paul that's my voice of preference.

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.
