It sounds a fantastic little piece of equipment, as, not only can it play daisy files, but it can also play text files, music files, and, thanks to a firmware upgrade being launched in September, audible files. How it plays text files? Well it has a text-to-speech engine built in, just like the BC does, and that engine will read out loud the text files. I hope this helps.

My friend William has pre-ordered his, so he should be one of the first to get it either next month or the month after that. ** 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
