I knew that it didn't speak because none of the Sony's do. A lot of the Olympus recorders don't speak, but they are still nominally accessible with beeps and dedicated folder and function buttons and so on. I don't think the Sony's are as easy to use, but that doesn't mean it's totally inaccessible. . Accessibility for an individual user has a lot more to do with how much time they are willing to invest in navigating through screens of information, making notes on the steps to access different menus, and so on. One person's access is another person's nightmare. It's about how bad you want it. -----Original Message----- From: Duyahn Walker Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 11:43 AM To: real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [real-eyes] Re: Checking into accessibility of a Sony digital recorder for a blind friend The model of the Sony recorder that your friend has will not speak any of the menus for accessibility. Now i had to call five times to Tech Support in order to get an answer to this question. Duyahn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kimberly A.
