I just installed the latest beta version (15), and I am extremely pleased
with the pronunciation - it seems much clearer - and maybe the partial
spelling during reading is gone. I'll have to read more, but I can notice a
definite improvement.
However, I noticed a quirk. In using the search feature (7+8 & 8+9), it
lands on the sentence before the one in which the search word occurs.
Also, I noticed that the default page number (after update or new batteries
inserted) seems always to be 43.
