Hi all,
I believe the acapela website is:
http://www.acapela-group.com/
They have some examples of their voices, not sure about how they sound at
different speeds.
best, John

Hi gary, thanks for your message. i had a talk with humanware two weeks
ago, asking whether there was any chance that we might be able in the
future to read the kindle downloads on victorstream. but i was told, that
amazon wouldn't agree. i downloaded four kindle books, and my son-in-law
used some programme on the amazon site to convert them in to text files
for me. the first one, searobber by kevin severin victor played well. but
the other three were hopeless. every time there was an apostrophe in the
middle of a word, such as you'll or an apostrophes at the end of a word,
the victor made the file concerned in to utter garbage. as for specialty
machines, i think we certainly do need them. commercial products are
working more and more towards to touch screens and no keyboard. i am not
at present going to get the new victorstream, as frankly, i am waiting for
someone of us who is actually using one, to tell us how he is getting on.
i certainly would like a better text to speech programme. i am told that
acapela or whatever the one in the new victorstream for playing text
files,is called, is good, but one can't speed it up. well, we have now
probably taken this subject as far as we can. good wishes to all the list,
brian. p s, is acapela a programme we can download to use separately.
anyone know. brian.
