HI Ian,
I thought that might be the case, but just wanted to check.
Thanks for replying.

Hi Steve,
could the nano be used for reading, for example, and RNIB magazine, or is it limited to reading the short messages that the user types in?
Also, which speech synth does it use?
Regards.
Ian

butHi Graham,
One difference to be aware of, is the Nano has a non-user-replacable rechargable battery, whereas the Voice Mate used standard batteries.
To say that it replaces these types of product is probably accurate, except
the Nano uses no voice recognition at all. It allows you to record,
browseyou can't speak to it. So the only way to find an appointment is to
them, or type the first letters of the contact you seek. I would sayif
butyou are proficient at Braille, you will get round the Nano very quickly,
ifnice to
you are not, this is certainly still do-able, but takes a little more time,
since you have to select and enter letters using the cursor keys.
Finally, the games are fun. I am addicted to Blackjack, and it is
have a handheld unit that will let you play games. That's my take onthe
Nano, an interesting little product.
