I've been using Nextup Talker for little over a year plus I use NextUp TextAloud. I purchased TextAloud prior to buying the Talker software.

The Talker software allows you to store many files with frequently used phrases i.e.; my son, my caregivers, general phone responses, curtain person phone responses & general everyday responses to whomever. I have found the Talker isn't very good for general type and speak scenarios. If you type multiple sentence and use punctuation's at the end of the first sentence this activates the speak command. There is a function mode to speak multiple sentences in the Talker software but I use TextAloud for type and speak.

Last year I purchased the upgrade 16 mhz (Megahertz) voices. The TextAloud & Talker programs come with an 8 mhz voices which sound very computer generated. The 16 mhz sounds more life like. I resently purchased the 22 mhz software. Save your money ($60.00), there's little difference between the 16s mhz & 22 mhz voices.
