Hi Everybody,

Sorry about the cross-posting.  I am curious about the Spanish speech on the 
BrailleNote for any of you who use it.  I understand that it speaks Castilian 
Spanish, however, is it very noticeable to you that the KeyNote speech 
pronounces the Z and soft C like a th? The reason I ask is that I heard 
Eloquence speak Castilian Spanish and noticed how it pronounced these sounds 
like th's.  After listening to the Braillenote, I have not noticed it doing the 
same thing.  I have had a very hard time noticing it pronouncing these sounds 
the way I have heard Eloquence pronounce them (they sound more like S's to me 
on the Braillenote).  Although certain aspects of the Castilian Spanish speech 
annoy me (probably because I have never learned using this dialect), and I am 
glad that they sound like S's instead of th's to me, is the speech just not 
very clear or is it that I have just gotten used to it over time--either that 
or I just have a really bad ear? I talked to a very fluent Spanish speaker in 
Braillenote technical support and she said that she has really noticed the th 
pronunciation with KeyNote.  Eloquence's th's are very noticeable to me and I'm 
wondering if any of you think that it sounds more noticeable than those of 
KeyNote.  I'm running 4.01 in case that matters.  Just curious about what you 
guys think.  Just let me know if you need any more clarification of what I am 
talking about.  Thanks.

Lindsay
