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. --le

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. Terri Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
