Hi Andrew,
Yes, it does. But for the most part, you record notes, you don't enter them
in Braille. The Braille is just for the contacts mainly.
All the best

Hi,
I am probably being incredibly thick, but how does it read notes that you
put in the memory through Braille input then? Does it spell them out?
Andrew.

Hi Ian,
It doesn't use a synth, and therefore, couldn't read any text. If you don't
record a voice message for the contacts, it spells them out. It is a very
clear British human voice.
All the best

Hi Steve,
could the nano be used for reading, for example, and RNIB magazine, or is it
limited to reading the short messages that the user types in?
Also, which speech synth does it use?
Regards.
Ian
