Hi Bryan, Are you kidding? I hated the Echo's voice. I would take Braille N Speak voice over Echo any day. Though, my opinion might be based on the fact I spent a lot of time after going blind using a Braille N Speak. It was like a part of me all through school and college. You see, when I first started losing my vision the teachers first put me on the braille writer. I expressed almost from the beginning I wanted to use a computer instead of this clunky, metal, old contraption. They of course told me I needed to use it to learn braille and become a braille user. Yada, yada, yada. Well, finally I managed to get my way and the school provided me with a new device called a braille and Speak from Blazie Engineering. I used the school's for a while, and got my local Lion's club to see how wonderful a device it was so they baught me one for school and hopefully college. After I got my own BNS it went everywhere with me. On the bus, to school, to the store, on vacations, you name it. It was almost like borg implanted to my person, and I didn't give it up until I managed to get a laptop with JFW and Eloquence on it around 1998 or so.
