V1.1 has 2004 and 2007 General pool - and has no more Morse code...
Submitted by alpharesearch on Mon, 2007-02-26 19:36.Since February 23 2007 morse code is not longer a part of the exam and that is the reason why I removed morse code training from this program.
The new 2007 General license pool was also added and this pool will be use in the second half of this year. If plan to have a exam in the first half of 2007 use the 2004 pool.

How to find a good speech voice?
Submitted by alpharesearch on Mon, 2006-10-23 21:40.The standard speech voice is not as good as it could be. I don't know any good free voices. If there are any good free voices that compare to my options please let me know and I will post it here.
Here are your options:
1. AT&T Natural Voices speech engine Mike and Crystal
2. Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 Anna
3. Microsoft Streets & Trips 2007 Anna
4. default voice Sam
The AT&T package has a male (Make16) and female (Crystal16) voice and both are very good; Streets & Trips has one very good female (Anna) voice.
