I'm happy with my perfectly working, old, doubletalk enabled original bookport. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hubert Renaud" <hrenaud@xxxxxxxxxx>

I will now be getting the Book Sense because of the voices.

I didn't get the stream, because I hated the voices and decided to wait
for a new port. I'm absolutely devastated that these voices will be used in 
the new machines.  So, that's it for me, I won't be buying one now.

Oh please, why the Samantha, Tom, etc. voices? PLEASE! Why not just

remain with DoubleTalk voice instead, it's better than that! DoubleTalk is
designed with Text in mind, has been for many years and you could then also 
make the device an external USB supported synthesizer with just some
additional configuration. Even then a dictionary for words could be added
with double-tap keystrokes for changing pronunciation of mispronounced
words, etc. Is memory considerations why those voices were chosen? There are 
just so many better choices than these voices!
