Richard,
Yes, I did verify that I could go to the articles with the female
voice before I changed voice during a pause.
I had another lockup last night and discovered that although every
other key didn't work to get out of it, one did. During the lockup
if I press and hold the 5 key as if to change voices, the female
voice will again resume and then the unit will operate normally. But
if I don't do this the male voice chosen during daisy pause will
lock up after a few articles.
Incidentally on my machine the Male voice sometimes has a kind of
slight stutter, as if there wasn't quite enough memory available
during some parts of the reading. I hear less of that with the female voice.

Also, did you try changing the voice on the fly rather than pausing first?
If so, did that also lead to a lock up?
I just tried to duplicate your issue in a New York Times and all worked
fine.
Good luck,
Richard

Subject: [GW-Booksense] Changing Voices in Daisy Causes lockup
Hi listers,
Discovered another annoying problem which I reproduced five times today.
When reading a Newsline file (the Sacramento Bee) using the default female
voice, I paused the reading and then changed to the male voice by pressing
and holding the 5 key. The male voice initially started reading as desired,
but as soon as I skipped to the next article using Level 3 movement, the
device stopped talking entirely and was unresponsive. Nothing I could do
would start reading again or making any other sound for that matter. Only a
device reset or battery removal could start the machine again.
I reproduced this problem with two different editions of the newspaper
downloaded on separate days. Surely one doesn't need to back entirely out
of a daisy document in order to change reading devices. Right?
