They do use the same speech. The only way to change the speech is to use the new Send Audio button in the beta software. This lets you use a speech synthesizer on your machine then send that as an audio file to the Book Port. >>> GeorTsoukala@xxxxxxx Sunday, April 16, 2006 3:58:27 PM >>> I have heard that the book port and the Book Courier use the same speach. Is this correct? Is there a way to change the speach? Thanks George
