Kim,
I did not see your post in this regard before, but this is interesting. I
tend to agree, that for what it does, It is certainly better than what I was
using for the few months prior to this device. If I have to, I will live
with the pronunciation foibles as long as I can hear and understand for the
most part.

Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] Add these words to fix in the BS dictionary
I wrote this once, but perhaps I didn't actually send it to the whole list.
I'm not trying to help GW Micro, or HIMS get out of anything, but the
Booksense uses Neospeech which is also offered with the Kurzweil reading
and scanning program. I hear mispronunciations with the speech in
connection with Kurzweil too, so it may not be anything that GW Micro or
HIMS can control or do anything about. It is a little bit of an
annoyance, but the speech quality overall is much better than Eloquence,
Dectalk, or any other synthetic speech I know about. If it can be fixed,
that would be good, but don't be surprised if it can't without Neospeech
making changes to _its_ product.
