Hi all
Just my two cents worth on this also ...
I would rather go to the trouble of converting a .txt book into mp3 with a
reasonable sapi 5 voice than suffer listening to the very robotic sounding
speech of the bookport.
Sure technology has improved somewhat since the 1980s since that type
Or put a phone in my Braille Note!
Now if I could have a phone that could do that plus have a daisy reader,
that would be just right.

Hi Dane,
The Bookport doesn't record from line in from what I remember. It does
internal mic. I read up about it a while back, before I found out about
rockbox. Apparently they're coming out with a new unit, so it might be

Hi again,
Now that I think about it, a daisy player for the smartphones shouldn't
be too far off at all. There are ones for the Pac Mate, which is
basically the pocket PC platform, and if you have a phone that runs on

I'll look into that, this could be handy. I know someone is actively
working on an OcR package for smart phones such as the N70, it will
work like the NFB reader, that is you hold the phone over a page of
text and press the camera button butt one thing at a time as I'm
going off-topic.

best thing about the book port or book courier is the ease of scanning
through a file to locate your place. the worst thing is the transfer speed.
Damn slow.
