Well, Ron, I haven't seen the voice alternatives??? They've got to be under Settings, General, Accessibility, but I haven't seen an alternative. Please tell me where to go! <Smiles>

Debbie, I think it depends on your hearing impairment. I have a hearing loss and when the volume is turned up to maximum it is fine for me. There is a male voice certainly on the IPod touch so you can change it. I am a beginner so I may be talking rubbish. The pod is wonderful and with the help of two young ladies on this list I am getting there. Watch this space.....

So please can people stop being sarcastic and answer the questions in a civilised and helpful manner or keep quiet Debbie -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Williams Sent: 11 February 2011 12:41 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: mobile phones question Dave, Why can't people ask a quite legitimate question without it being put down by a sarcastic comment? What will people say when Apple have killed off all the competition and there is no choice out there?

As the CEO of Nokia has admitted himself, Nokia has missedthe boat, andif I were you, I would be looking at the I phone, withwhich you do notneed to purchase extra text to speech software, such asTALKS, as ithas Voice over as standard, as with all Apple products. Accessible straight out of the box, as it should be.
