Interesting that we have been speaking of the Toshibas and I found this review on the Text to speech application that is bundled with the PPC. Good things in the program:
very clear and easily comprehensible voice generated by the text-to-speech engine
ability to read texts from file, clipboard and e-mails - including "Pause" button, so that you can take for example incoming call and continue listening later Bad things in the program:
no ability to define your own pronounciations for words or characters
no ability to read text from third programs (like eBooks in Microsoft Reader) - however we cannot blame it on Toshiba - it is rather Microsoft´s limitation that exists in the operating system (Microsoft´s own "Voice Command" also has text-to-speech feature but also doesn´t allowto read texts from third programs - it doesn´t even allow to read texts from files!)
loudspeakers in Toshiba e800 are weak (it´s not a fault of the program itself though) so sometimes, particularly in loud environments one is forced to use headphones Conclusion: it is a simple but very usable program. Good quality text-to-speech technology for Pocket PC has become reality.
