This is roughly where many of us set speech output on our computers and mobile devices anyway - sometimes even faster - however that nice, human-sounding speech is probably a good thing for beginners or folks not yet familiar with the Rockbox menu structure. Also, if you create voice clips you can scroll through/interrupt large directories much faster. I find that if I let it finish speaking, (or spelling, as the case may be), a selected filename prior to pressing the right arrow to play it, it won't speak during the initial few seconds of my track, however playing it quickly without letting the player read the entire string will usually cause it to continue to spell or speak, depending on how it is set up. Spell mode is a little bit laggy on the iRiver, too, but again the faster speech and the voice clips help immensely!

I just tried it--my screen is busted, I wanted to make sure everything was okay and it is... but... the voice support is so "lag-y"! By the time it had finished spelling one directory's name, I had overshot and was on the next directory. Why doesn't output entirely STOP when the next directory is highlighted? Instead, it keeps spelling the directory I was on until it's done, then starts reading the next. Is it that most blind people use the 430wpm voices, or do they have a different technique for controlling it? To top it off, when I finally found my way to my songs, it kept talking during the intro to a song. I like that it lowers the volume of the song to about half and talks, but I have no idea what it was reading, and it kept going for about 10-15sec into the song. Is it reading the screen, and is confused about the scrolling text on the while playing screen, or is it emptying the queue from my excursion through the directories, or what? I know, I'll probably end up getting the source code and figuring this out myself. I just am really surprised that anyone can use this interface. How do you do it!!??
