I'm having a great time using Tom, the robo voice. Although the reading is lacking in dramatic presence, it helps me keep up with a book while I'm at the gym, driving, etc., then I can get right back to my book, on the right page even! I hope most authors opt to allow text-to-speech -- any that don't will face my wrath!
I like that Tom (I actually prefer his counterpart, Thomasina) is so boring at reading that I sometimes forget I'm listening - the method of delivery is unimportant, and I'm lost in the book, which is perfect.
But I have to admit, I have noticed a couple of Thomasina words that are so hilarious, they are priceless.
My favorites so far:
frijoles - Thomasina calls them Fridge-Ills
Denys (man's name, sounds like Dennis) - Thomasina calls him "Denies"
Have you heard any funny ones yet?
