Ibrahim,
For my 2 cents worth, I think the voice is pretty bad and with the
software's inability to deal with certain punctuation structures,
particularly dialogue, it can be a bit frustrating.
Again, my opinion only. Need to find a way to convert kindle content to
text.
Regards,
Karl

Hi Yusuf.
Yep, I think I'll do that, though from what I've heard the voice is pretty
dam awful.
All the best, Ibrahim.

As far as I know the only demo is of the Kindle itself, not the PC software.
But I'm pretty sure that the voice is the same.
John Galegher's demo of the Kindle is on Blindcooltech I believe, also you
could just download the Kindle PC software and get one of the free titles to
test out the speech.
