Hi Steve
I've no idea about size of card. I've seen MMC cards at 128mb for £11 plus VAT
but I'm not sure if there are larger ones.
Since I wrote last I thought I'd follow the instructions on the Rockbox site to
get my Ondio working. It works well and does all it says. I'm not too familiar
with the Ondio instructions yet and so some functions I can't work till I have
the manual read, but for working through the menus it's great. You can make it
announce files by spelling them or having them numbered and announced. There is
also a function to have your folders and files named as an mp3 file which will
be announced when you hit them.
So far it's looking good. As a personal preference I like the Crystal voice
best although it's not perfect.
The other good thing is that it can be set up by a totally blind person.
Hope this is of some use.
Gordon

Hi Steve
Not sure if this will suit you but the Archos Ondio (a non hard disk
player/recorder) has recently been added to the Rockbox list of accessible
units. I have one of these but as yet have not ventured to put in the Archos
operating system, but according to others, it works.
This Ondio has 128mb of memory basic and can be added to by MMC 128 memory
cards (£11 or so on Ebuyer). The unit at Ebuyer recently was under £40 and
includes direct line recording to MP3, a tuner radio which I've not found all
that startling but it works and you can record from it, and a voice recorder
function which records pretty well.
Best wishes
Gordon McFarlane

Hi All,
Are there currently any mp3 players or the Arcos type jukeboxes where I
can have speech added?
