Every ReadEasy comes with two high quality 8khz voices called Mike and Crystal (American English Male and Female voices) plus one extremely high quality lifelike voice (16khz) that can be chosen from a selection of three. These are: Audrey - British English Female Voice Charles - British English Male Voice Anjali - British Indian Female Voice " For further information http://www.visionaid.co.uk/products/reading_machines_text_to_speech/visionaid_technologies/readeasy/readeasy.php Regards Colin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darran Ross" <darran.ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Access-UK" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 12:32 AM Subject: [access-uk] Reading Machines > Hi List. > > I've been very happy with my Kurzweil Reading Edge, which has been in use > for about ten years now, but I'm thinking about a change as its getting a > bit clunky and will eventually give up the ghost! > > I've had a look at the Portset reader and the Galileo from Robotron, but > was hoping someone could tell me what kind of speech they use?
