Hi AndyI bought the World Fact Book 2011, and an English Dictionary and Thesaurus,both for 59p each. Just search for dictionaries and it should come up. They both work with VoiceOver.

You said youhave aps on the Touch? Can you recommend any dictionaries/encyclopedias thatare accessible with Voice Over? - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 26, 2011 7:55 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Franklin LM6000b speaking dictionaryHi Clive I read that myself on Amazon, and the one thing that makes me think it is probably the same as the older version is the fact there is a cassette with instructions on it. When did we last get a taped manual? (smile). It would just be good if it was an English dictionary that's all. I don't even mind the American voice, but it would be nice to have spellings we use rather than from the Mirium Webster dictionary. Even though I have apps on the iPod Touch, I still like my Franklin, andsometimes have a notion to play games on it. Remember the Keyboard Wizardgame, when you found the correct letter on the unit and the voice said: "You got it"!!
