Hi, all! Long time listener, first time caller. I'm curious to know if you all
know about the Homer
Simpson voice you can get with the Tom-Tom GPS system, which is, of course not
for blind folk.
I'd love to have that voice on my Sendero Gps which I use with the braille note
mPower. Would it be
possible to do sthing that amusing?
Peace,
Kathy Szinnyey
