Most of the time, I too, prefer synthetic speech over human narration. It can
be read faster. However, works of fiction, which I read more slowly, are best
read by humans.

Subject: [bookport] Preferring Synthetic Speech to Human Narration
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.
