Barry, the Cobolt W20 watch speaks with the standard Cobolt English male voice. If you've got any of their other appliances, you'll know the voice I mean. The website is http://www.cobolt.co.uk where you can hear a sound sample of the W20 and see if it's what you want. I think it costs about fifty quid. Cheers, Sandra. ** To leave the list, send a message to:- ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
