Hi John, The firmware has been updated since then, but it's not a lot better.

From what Neal says in the podcast a lot more of the functions than multitracking are not spoken, unless, of course there's been a firmware update since the podcast. In many cases only the top item in a menu list was spoken, which is as good as nothing.

The only bit that isn't accessible currently, is multitracking. As a regular recorder, it is fine.

It offers 8 track multi track recording whilst having voice guidance to talk you through the menus's. My wonder is whether this voice guidance is actually enough to allow you to operate it independently from using the display. Anyone tried one yet? Steve
