Hi, Try using periods. Multiple periods should provide a stop of about half a second. HTH.

One thing I've found helpful is to create files that ask me questions, then pause, then give the answer -- essentially the equivalent of audio flash cards. When I'm doing this on the computer itself using TextAloud (which I like; http://www.nextup.com/), I can insert {{Pause=1}} for a 1-second pause, {{Pause=3}} for a 3-second pause, etc. I've tried doing this on my BookPort using periods, but without complete success. Has anyone figured out a way to introduce variable length pauses for BookPort?
