    Hi, everyone. When trying the new send to speech, I found that both vw
Kate and AT&T crystal had some artifact in the voice. That's probably due to
the sampling rate.
When pressing two to stop, many times, I had to press it twice. If I pressed
the stop key once, it would often restart; so I would have to press it again
to get speech to stop.
Pressing the one and three keys seemed to back up or go forward by a large
amount. I wondered if these files were indexed. I am currently reading an
audible book and pressing the one key doesn't move back that far.
Lastly, with vw Kate, reading just seemed to go without any natural pausing.
Crystal was a bit better, but still, the reading seems to rush onward.
I realize this is a beta; so if we can work some of the kinks out of this
new feature, I think it will be pretty neat.
It would really be neat if I could load an OPF daisy file and have the
bookmarks preserved in this new mp3 file.
I tried doing an html file and that seemed to lock things up.
