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.

        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.

                Hi Ray,
                 
                I now have the radio in my house.  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.
                 
                All the best

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

                                Hi all, 

                                Since the announcement of the release of
the Sonus1XT with Ivox speech from Pure, I've asked them whether other
DAB products could be upgraded to incorporate the voice.  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.  

                                Cheers now. 

                                Ian
