Hi Eleanor Yes it is, I can load the program and cursor up and down the list of words but talks doesn't read out the translations or definitions. Unless you guys know of a way to achieve this. The quick office dictionaries are very reasonable, £9 each but it's a shame we can't use them. Is there a way to access info on the phone that talks won't speak?
