This scary Samantha thing is cracking me up!
For those of you that may own a victor and a iPod, does she sound different?
She doesn't sound scary at all on the iPod; granted, I haven't had her read
a whole lot. Not like she would on the iPad or something.
I'm in the camp, where I don't want the booksense crowded with eloquence.
Kate and Paul are just fine, and hopefully pronunciation will be in the
future. Fingers crossed for some sort of user dictionary.

You're right. that's a good start. Now what they need to do is to add
about five more speeds, or increase the speed for each level between one
and five. It's always better to have the speed faster than what you think
you would like. Chances are some one else (like me) will. If it's too
fast, we can always slow it down. If it's too slow, even on the high
speed, there's nothing we can do.

Well I never thought I'd be a speed listener, and when you think of it,
the
super fast speech does sound kind of ugly, but it's the utility of being
able to rip on through a document or book fast that got me inching up the
speed. Now I run jaws fairly fast -- faster for stuff I'm familiar with,
and it's interesting how you stop hearing individual words -- it's like
the
information on the page kind of flows into your head. Now before I
started
using screen readers, I used to listen to blind friends and wonder what
the
heck made it possible for them to make heads or tails of their rapid fire
synth. Necessity makes a lot of things possible. You normally don't
think
of disabilities that way.

I never did like fast synthesized speech. I have DecTalk set to 25 and
that's fast enough for me. I have the BSP's speech set to 5. I slowed
down
the BookSense's speech to 4 or 5.
If a human voice reads too slowly, I'll kick it up one notch faster.
