[1 - Greetings - Win Something from NextUp!]
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Hello from NextUp.com!
We hope this month finds you all well. Thanks to all of you who took time to
vote for TextAloud MP3 in the ESC People's Choice Award. Congratulations also
to Sharon, our contest winner (Rio 600 MP3 Player) last month. For this month's
drawing, a lucky reader will win a one month subscription to Audible.com. As
always, thanks for staying tuned!

[2 - Beta Testers Needed]
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
For the hundreds of you who have requested the ability to change voices within
an article, we are getting close. We need several beta testers who are
interested in using this functionality. It won't be the most user friendly to
use at first, requiring special tags in the text, but if you are interested in
trying it, please let us know.
We also need testers for a new File Splitting utility in TextAloud, which allows
you to easily split large text files into chapters or smaller chunks, for easier
handling.
Finally, we have a few slots remaining for beta testers of new voices we may be
offering. Testers get a chance to purchase voices at 50% discount, and we've
gotten generally good feedback with few technical problems on these so far.
If you are interested in participating in any of these, contact us at
betatesters@nextup.com
and let us know which items you are interested in.
Please note, we love the participation we get from our users, but we also get
overwhelmed with requests each time we do this, so be patient if you don't hear
back from us for a few days on the request.
