Well Jackie, theoretically you can backup without having to use that ITunes thing, but I've yet to find out that this really works if you have mail other than an address from Apple, and have a few more queries, so I am not sure that you'd be completely happy there. Also, you have to pay after the 5GB. Ah, they don't back up your music either. There's a thing about ITunes music which you can always get again that way but you have to pay for something else to be able to do that if your music has been purchased elsewhere.
However, IMessaging is good. You can send to anyone, anywhere, free if they have an IMessage address; and if not it will just be sent as a phone message.
You can get notifications pushed directly to the IPod and, if you choose not to lock the screen to these notifications, you'll hear if you get a message.
There are a lot of voice enhancements but probably not too many of which I'm really aware right now.
I realise I'm not doing too well with this message and can only say it's because of the time of night and really there's a lot more good stuff that I just can't even think about right now. No doubt others will chip in.
I'm glad I've upgraded. -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, October 15, 2011 10:01 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: I-phone Voice
Sorry I've come in late or missed this thread, but what are the enhancements of the new update if I were to do this on my iPod Touch? As it stands, I am happy with the female. I wish it was Alex speaking, but Apple obviously decided blind people only cope with Daniel et al or something. Is it seriously worth upgrading just to have to faff about changing that cruncher to another voice? What are the real enhancements in the Touch, does anyone know please, voice aside?

There's another setting which I recall seeing yesterday for English, English US etc but can't remember where I saw it. Maybe this needs an adjustment to get these voices working ... Any ideas? -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: Ibrahim Gucukoglu To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, October 14, 2011 8:18 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: I-phone VoiceHi Sharon. Unfortunately the new voice that is used for British English is Daniel, Serena has been retired from active service. You have the option of an Australian English, Irish and South African voices as well as the original US English voice which is Samantha. You can change the voice by going in to settings/general/accessibility then voice over, language rotor and selecting the languages you want to have available to you. All the best, Ibrahim.

Is it possible to get the original female voice back, the one I had before the upgrade, and if so, how do I do it. Many thanks.
