Re: A TTS Engine instead of a Human Voice for Reading a Novel? Maybe

Hello Mark, I read ebooks using the Daniel voice all the time. I also listen to Audible books and sometimes, the Daniel voice does a better job than the human reader. However, when a good human reader does the job, it’s definitely better. Cheers, Anne > On 16 Apr 2019, at 06:26, M. Taylor

Re: A TTS Engine instead of a Human Voice for Reading a Novel? Maybe

Hi Mark, I have a question about your experience. You describe the tts voice as your beloved Samantha, suggesting that you spend allot of time with her as a major part of your listening? If true, might your personal history with the voice, the inflections the pronunciations impact your appr

A TTS Engine instead of a Human Voice for Reading a Novel? Maybe

Hello Everyone, I love the iOS Kindle App because it works so well with my Focus 40 Blue Braille display. However, for whatever reason, until recently, I've never used the VoiceOver Samantha TTS engine to read an entire novel in the Kindle app. Not long ago, I was searching for a book in Audible

Thank you, Mark, it’s very reassuring. I’ve listened to a few podcasts for earlier versions of Apple watch, and the presenters were talking about holding down “Friends” button - a rectangular button. But I couldn’t see that button on the series 4 in the shop, and there was nobody on hand to as

RE: My Apple watch series 4 is arriving tomorrow

Hello Andrew, Do not be nervous with regard to how to power on your Apple Watch. The watch is powered on by simply pressing the Digital Crown or what would be considered the stem on a regular Braille watch. Just press and hold the stem in, for about 5 seconds and the watch will power on.

I understand that. While things most certainly shouldn't be entirely free, I do say there should be more pricing plans. When you're on a fixed income and you're paying for other services, $10 a month is a pretty steap price. Not only that, but I certainly do not need a terabyte of storage. If th
