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.
