Oh yeah, Archos had cornered the market on the MP3 players for blind users. Access World which is a technology magazine put out by the American Foundation for the Blind did a tech review on the Ipod. I told them to do one on the Archos w/ Rockbox and the IRiver. The AFB reviews blindness and mainstream products. I just wish rockbox would read the names of the directories and music files instead of spelling them out, but its better than nothing. *grin* ----- Original Message ----- From: "BlueChip" <cs_bluechip_at_webtribe.net> To: "Rockbox development" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 9:32 PM Subject: Re: New to the list. Welcome Terry, How about, buy and old archos jukebox of some nature from fleabay, use that for your holiday, and upgrade in three months time when rockbox for iriver (and such) starts to become stable? When you upgrade, advertise your old archos here, you will have no shortage of people to take it off your hands - I've read other blind users here talk about buying them by the dozen for all their similarly visually-impared friends and associates. Setting up the speech system still seems to fox people regularly - so give yourself an evening of patience, and maybe access to an IRC client - it _does_ work and it does work well - but I think 1 in 20 emails here must be about setting it up.
