Yes, separate volumes settings for the audio content and the text-to-speech is just one of the features we have requested for almost a year now since the BookSense was released. We've also asked for a better search method using the keyboard for text entry, an adjustment to the recording levels that would prevent distortion when using the internal microphone and correction of the pronunciation errors in the Neospeech text-to-speech engine. Unfortunately, GW Micro is not the company that writes the firmware for the BookSense; they can only pass our suggestions along to HIMS, the manufacturer. Since we never hear anything directly from HIMS, we don't know if they will ever implement these and other suggestions we make for improvement of the BookSense. We also don't know if it does any good to continue to voice the same complaints a year later, since Raul said that each bug report and suggestion was only entered into the database once. Is HIMS still aware that it is important to us to get these things done, and even more importantly, do they care?

We need to be able to set a relativistic volume for the Text-to-Speech. currently when I am llistening to music I have to turn the volume down before I push anything that activates TTS or I hurt my ears. We need the capability to set how much higher or lower we want the TTS volume versus the player level. Any chance we can get this on the bug list? Also, it would be nice if we could get back some of the speaker volume we loast when going to 2.0 I had to buy a set of small Bluetoot speakers to use since the Bookscence voolume is not loud enough except for in bed at night., and no I don't have a hearing problem. Thanks oo. When I'm using the external speaker, I set the volume to 21 and the audio player isn't loud enough. The tts is a little too loud. Terri Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
