Hi it's not built in. It uses your SAPI5 speech settings for the Nano to speech. The speech must be installed through iTunes though.

In addition to what has been said already, I had a brief look at the
I-Tell at Sight Village when it was launched.   I actually thought it
was a very clever device in that it allows you to use any iPod except
the iTouch and iPod Shuffle devices.  From what little I saw of it, I
thought the voices weren't too bad compared to some I've heard.  As long
as I could hear what I am selecting to play, I'd be happy with that.
I'm still yet to try out a Nano to see what it is like with the built-in
speech menu system.

Yeah, it does sound like Dectalk, hence me not liking the speech at much
as I would when I get my new iPod. I know a friend who's got an iAudio,
but can't remember what exactly it is, apart from that it's a hard
drive-based player.

The speech on the I-Tel, in my opinion, sounds very robotic and not
clear. This is only from a review I've heard though.

Hi All,

Could anyone please let me have your thoughts on wat you think of
The
i-tel?

I have an iAudio player.

Is the sound created by the i-tel of reasonable listening quality or
is
it
just listenable?

Any responses gratefully appreciated.

Tony
