Hi Jackie,
Yes, Olympus have half-baked down to a T. You can access some menus, but
you can't set the clock with speech.
All the best

Hi Clive
Exactly, my experience this week with the Olympus DM7 is just that,
half-baked!
Kind regards,

Hello all,
I wonder if the problem with partial accessibility is another instance of
what I think happened with Blackberry and the early models of Kindle. There
seems to be a naïve assumption on the part of some companies that if a
device speaks at all, it will be fully accessible to blind people. So you
get spoken caller id but no spoken menu; could read a book on the old
Kindle, but try using the silent keyboard; Blackberry had speech output on a
useless touch screen device, so at least you were told when you'd
accidentally fouled up settings you didn't intend to tamper with. Perhaps
developers should be asking "does it work well? And is it versatile",
instead of adding in half-baked accessibility features. In short, does it
work like apple?
Best,
Clive
