[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

The soundingboard has been designed to effectively use punctuation,
pauses, ETC to make the speech have much more expresion than saythe
Artic boards or the Echo.  I can read for a long time with the
Soundingboard without getting burned out and that is good.  The
soundingboard is certainly not a flat monotone board like so many.  I'm
still getting used to the Axcent.  It seems to go to the other extreme.
 I buess I can get used to listening to anything if I want to.  One of
the nicest parts of the soundinbaord is the flexibility to define hot
keys, the rewind mode, fast forward mode, time and date availability,
and the ability to change rate of speech and volume controls while the
board is reading.  The paus control which stopps the speech, holds upt
he computer, and then picks up when pressed again is something I miss
when I'm using another board.  I don't think any other and for sure no
other speech board at any price that I've seen has this valuable
feature.  If you ever have the chance give the Soundingblard a try.
You will be pleased!.
