does the toddy spell place names and anything you write as well? This
sounds like a rather serious down side to me although I suppose you can just
record your addresses instead.

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

Subject: [access-uk] Nano, was More Sight Village
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
