I own the Victor Stream. If I'm not mistaken, the Book Sense uses the
Eloquence synthesizer, like JAWS. In my opinion, the Victor Stream has the
worst synthesizer of all three readers. I had the old Book Port, and the
synthesizer wasn't the greatest, but it pronounced most words correctly.
What bothers me most about the VR Stream is the pronunciation. If I had it
to do over again, I would buy the Book Sense.

In my opinion, the best book player available is the BookSense. The male
and female voices are better than other players out there and I like the
size of the BookSense. I drag mine all over the place and with an 8 gig
card installed, I am able to put loads of books on it.

I hope this isn't off topic, and if it is, I'm sure someone will slap my
hand.
I download books from both Bookshare and the NLS site.
I'd like to know which is the best player to listen to both types of
books and the best voice for listening pleasure.
I believe the BookPort does this, but with a horrendous synthesizer.
