I just ordered one also. It's due Friday. I was too late to get it tomorrow with one day shipping.
I have no real interest in using TTS but I'm real curious about this thing and I want to take a look. And I probably can sell it to one of my neighbors when I'm done.
I've always had a kind of academic interest in TTS. I just don't care for it in books. I wrote a driver for an early TTS chip back in the early 1980's and a screen reader for the Radio Shack Color Computer for use by a friend's blind brother so he could use the computer. It was passed around a lot as freeware by Color Computer users.
Since then I've made it a point to listen to TTS about every year or two to see how it's grown. It's a million times better than it was when I was writing for it but it's still not something I want to use for books, at least not while I can read okay.
