Hi Diane, I have the N82, Talks, and KNFB Reader, too. I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but I know when I start to dial a phone number Talks steps on itself so that I never actually hear the first digit I enter on the keypad. In fact, I always pause long enough to be sure I hear the digits spoken after that. If there is some way to work around that I don't know what it is. Crystal
