Hi Colin,
Yes, better than nowt, but that's hardly equitable. My point is that these days
you don't have to be Jamie Oliver to bake it properly. We should have more than
just crumbs from the master's table.
Best,
Clive

Greetings,
Adding to Steve's Olympus discussion, agreed, problem with Olympus is same as
for the Pure Sonis. The speech was "enabled" by introduction of individual
files containing words, called up as necessary when the function is activated.
Yes, fine so far as it goes, but not what I term proper speech. At least with
screen-readers such as NVDA and their like, speech gives a more or less
accurate response to changes. Olympus and Pure could not intelligently
interpret displays for stations, file names for the Olympus and the like.
Half-baked? Um! better than nout, but needs much improvement.
