The BP 2 will have a internal speaker. For all that BP 2 has to offer, go to:
http://www.aph.org/tech/info.htm
And download Icon Braille Plus and other new technology. The first few minutes
are about BP
2, and the second and third segments are about 2 released products, Book Wizard
Producer,
and the Icon Braille Plus Mobile Manager.
HTH,
Chase Crispin
