Sky Talker comes out on 26 October. Price is 60 pounds. 

The box looks like a Sky Broadband router. It's black. It has a volume
up and down switch for the voice on its top.

There are 9 available voices male and female. You can adjust their tone
and speed. 

You can't access the EPG or any of the menus, it only works from within
the channel you're watching. It'll say what channel and what programme
is on now on the channel you've selected. 

The play, record, rewind and pause buttons all speak. You will get a
warning every 60 seconds if you leave it on pause so you know what's
happening. 

You can press the remote's 'I' info button for a programme synopsis. 

it also speaks channel numbers.
