Some narrators aren't that good, but when you find a good one, reading an audio book can be a real pleasure.

Sarah said in an earlier message that she is part of a tiny minority who prefers synthetic speech to human narration.

While that club is no doubt small and exclusive, I hope and trust there's room for me. Even though I'm doing these NLS conversions, I prefer a plain-text book like a Web braille title over the human narration any day. The choice of the DoubleTalk chip was an excellent choice as far as I'm concerned.

I suspect, Sarah, that there are more of us out there than we might realize--more who enjoy synthetic speech over human narration, that is. I'm solidly in that group.

11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in earnest,
you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says the LORD...
