Hi, There are several voices on Android, Acapela, Eloquence, Ivona, for example. Try getting Eloquence on an iPad, you can't <Smile>.

Steve Nutt has already mentioned the Nexus and that he is able to use it successfully. Considering that Android based tablet PCs cost a fraction of their iOS equivalents, I think an in-depth comparison of the two platforms would be worth the time and effort. Topics worth exploring would include the accessibility of the operating system and third-party software user interface for basic IT tasks (eg OS maintenance, file management, email, browsing the web, playing music, listening to daisy books and so forth). The voices and the range of languages that are available on Android. I do truly hope it isn't the dreaded espeak and nothing. *smile* You get the idea,anyway. By the way, I would like to thank the list for their positive response to my other threads so far. This is one of the more positive, more responsive lists I have joined to date. So, thanks guys. So, without further ado, Laissez Le Bonton Roulet! Sincerely, Matthew ** 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 ** 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
