Hello I promised to report back once I'd received my LS-3. After a few minutes of playing, and I may be talking rubbish of course: Time / Date function appears not to speak - should be possible to set clock with bundled software but I haven't installed the software as yet. Memory information i.e. amount of remaining memory appears not to speak; List function, i.e. when scrolling through files in a given folder appears not to speak either. This leads me to believe that instead of a TTS, the recorder is using a set of voice files, as in self voicing but sticking rigidly to a predetermined script. As said, I may be talking rubbish, the functions I have mentioned may well speak but I haven't found out how to make them yet. If the lack of a TTs is true, that's a shame. The recorder is perfectly useable though, as per the review on blindcooltech. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
