I have a serious hearing impairment and had absolutely no problem accustoming myself to the Doubletalk after I purchased my BP. I can't say this about every speech synthesizer I've encountered, either. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Howard Kaufman" <wa9top@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 9:33 AM Subject: [bookport] Re: wish list Well kind of, you can convert the files to mp3 files using neo speech or what ever you want. They are big, less navagable, and take up more batery power. You also can't adjust the rate or tone of the speech after the files are created. I can't imagine not being able to learn doubletalk speech, even with a hearing impairment. It's so sad to be limited in the resources a person can use.
