As I understand it the instructions that are voiced are small audio files that
correspond to menu options rather than like a mobile phone with a text to
speech engine.

Hello everyone,
I received this today from Hagger Electronics in response to my request for
them to send it. This will be displayed at the forthcoming Sight Village
exhibition next month which unfortunately I won't be able to attend. I thought
I would post it on the list to give you an idea of the differences and
enhancements to previous models. Please note there is no price given, so I
would think it will be one of the new products released at Sight Village.
Please find details below.
Best wishes,
Clive Pallett
