Hi Kim!The latest generation of the iPod Shuffle, which I have also speaks, announcing song titles and artists when you want it to. It uses the VoiceOver software.

Hi, Jamie, I don't have an iPod, but I'm told there are iPod nanos that speak their menus and now there's an iPod Touch which can speak all the menus, but I don't have one. What I understand is that the screen will allow people to gesture in order to make their selections. VoiceOver is enabled. I don't have any of these but I'll bet you there are some intrepid souls in the blind community who'll get one. The iPhone (I forget which models) are also enabled for speech. (I'm not getting one.)

I can't imagine being blind and trying to manipulate my ipod.-- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Matchless by Gregory MaguireEarn cash for answering trivia questions every 3 hours: <http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497>http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497See everything I've read this year at: <http://www.michrxtech.com/books.html>www.michrxtech.com/books.html__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4682 (20091212) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4682 (20091212) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. <http://www.eset.com>http://www.eset.com No virus found in this incoming message.
