Hi Ray, It's my understanding that In Touch is planning a feature. In the meantime, I'm talking to Pure and passing on information garnered from this list and from elsewhere to their top marketing banana. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray's Home Sent: 01 March 2005 09:15 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: PURE'S VOICE TECHNOLOGY Steve. Maybe you could do a mini review of the new Pure talking DAB radio yourself? It would be interesting to hear what strengths and weaknesses it has. I hope feedback will reach Pure on this.

I have to say that it is really good, and even spells out the scrolling text that DAB displays. It's only a very minor shame that they didn't use a text to speech engine, because it can only spell out unknown words and channels, but overall, it is very good, and would be well worth an In Touch feature.

Look forward to an In Touch feature. Certainly hope it may find its way into the HI-Fi tuners they make.

The Bug, for example can have its software upgraded via a PC and USB connection. The answer is that the speech requires a certain amount of extra flash memory which isn't available on other sets currently, however, they are looking at its wider application across their product range.
