Peter:
I will discuss it with programming and see what I can find out. I
would think it should transfer a lot faster than 1 hour. One thing I
can think of is that if your hard drive is nearly full to capacity, then
that would slow things down. Try deleting any Temporary Internet files
or anything else you don't need and see if that helps.
I'll let you know if I find out anything else. Since Larry also
monitors the list, I'm sure he will have something else to add, when
time permits.

I using the Bookport feature to send a book in text format to the
Bookport
as an audio file so that the Bookport can read the book in a
high-quality
SAPI5 voice.
This is taking a long, long time (as might be expected). Not only does
this
tie up the Bookport for quite some time, but I know that the Bookport
batteries drain when it is connected to the USB port.
Is there a way of using the Bookport queuing system to pre-process the
text-formatted book into an audio format before connecting the
Bookport? In
this way I would only have to tie up my comuter for the transfer time
and
not the entire processing time to transform the book from text to
audio.
Thanks.
