But it’s like reading paper books. There are times when you’ll be more into listening than reading and vice versa.

Is this normal at the beginning? The uncertainity?

Are you using the standard voices or have you gone with a premium one yet? If premium, which voice did you choose?

BTW, I did try the Neospeech voice and so far it’s not working (for anyone wanting to know.)

I love it thanks for recommending it. My day begins with a book and frankly I’m just book crazy. But lately due to my university courses/ part time job I’ve fallen back on my reading. But this is just a great way to get some critical reading done.

Kind of funny, a grammar mistake in a blurb about pronounciation…

(yes, I no, I did that on porpoise.)

It’s like having someone else to tell you a [bedtime] story :D

I don’t listen to very complex material

Ricky, I like the Neospeech Paul voice. But there was a problem with in using T2G so I switched to Scansoft’s Samantha voice. But with the new beta, it looks like the Paul voice might be fixed…I’ll give it a try.

You can use any of the many voices that are part of MacOS.
