No problem, I was just curious, and couldn't resist giving you a hard time. <Grin> -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Phil Parr Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 1:37 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: Just a couple of comments. My intention was not to deceive but just a small memory fault. I thought I dot it in November 02 but I suppose it was 03 instead.

Hi Phil, I'm curious, how have you had your BookPort for three years, when it came onto the market in May of 2003, I believe? <Smile> I use Big Bob at pitch 50, and find that the most comfortable setting for listening. I am a big fan of the DoubleTalk, but I don't use either of the two echoing voices.

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.
