I have that one and love it. No wonder she's good, though. She's--well,
let me re-phrase this: her download filesize is enormous! Best synthesized
voice I've ever heard, though.

Hi all, have you heard the voice that comes with amipro by scansoft called Jane! I think its the best I've heard. A female voice bit of a British or Ausi accent and clear as a bell! A real pleasure to listen to.

It just goes to show you that opinions are like noses, everybody has one. <Smile> My favorite synth for reading books, especially long and involved ones, is, hands down, the DoubleTalk. I feel that Eloquence or other software synths are fine for work or short reads, but when it comes to reading books, the DoubleTalk gets my vote. This is, of course, nothing but my own opinion.

I guess it is all what you're used to. Remember, better speech will require more power.

Just another idea. I find the Bookport's internal synthesizer quite acceptable for short texts, but it does become a bit monotonous when reading for long periods. Is there any potential in the future for having a software speech synthesizer built into the Bookport's firmware? A multilingual synthesizer such as Eloquence would be ideal.
