Hi Mo

I updated mine when it arrived, but it definitely does speak file names.  It
would be more helpful if all models were to speak everything, then there
would be no dubiety.


Kind regards,

hi jackie.

very interesting. i must check in that case if my firmware is out of 
date, as file names are not read out either as others claim!

all the best,

Mo.
