Hi Carol.The retailer in question has a model the RNIB aren't selling directly, however it can be upgraded to take speech via a firmware download from the TVonics website. It would be a good option to go down if you were tight on funds, however bare in mind also that you'd have to buy the audio description remote from TVonics, so you can add another £15 to the cost of the setup.
All the best, Ibrahim.-----Original Message----- From: Carol Pearson

Please let me know if this is incorrect. -- Carol P----- Original Message ----- From: "john coley" <johncoley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
