It was rather funny to me listening to the various inflections / voices and effort the reader put into an audiobook when I first started listening to them. I was very used to the very computerized rather disjointed voice of my Kindle Keyboard.
My daughter is a first year elementary school librarian and I'm amazed at the level of the TTS in the reference program the children use. When I was volunteering last week one of the girls asked if the page could be switched to Spanish (her primary language, although she speaks English rather well) and read to her. It worked! Later I watched her switch back to English put her headphones on and listen in English. This was a second grader!
