It seems to me that if games can be written to work on the unit, that it should be able to be operated with the ability to utilize personalized wav files, and it might be able to use a cheap little speech engine, but I don't know how much memory can be spared in the O S for such a thing. There are some very small programs that use synthetic speech, and although the speech is not very good, by today's standards, it should work, and we'll take whatever we can get to give us feedback from the screen. Linux uses a speech program called speakup, but this relies on a hardware synthesizer, but perhaps there is a little program for Linux that will work like some of those DOS programs did, in that they would send synthetic speech to the PC speaker. I hope this generates some interest from some of you who are much more familiar with programming than I am. Glenn. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin R.

How would someone who can't see the display benefit from the newer rockbox firmwares? Maybe beyond focusing th player on specific files you could change menu options from th pc too.
