Hello, You may have heard about an MP 3 player called Tiny Tunes. It claims to have an excellent TTS engine which will speak menu choices, folder names and titles. It is supposed to read textfiles, making it suitable for reading books. It has an FM radio.
I was not able to hear even one FM station. I checked with a friend who just received his unit, and he could not hear any signals! The speech is about the worst I've in my 30 years of using computers. Both navigation and responses are at best uncertain. After one places a few MP 3 folders on the device, it quits responding, running the batteries down. It's easy to get it work again. Just remove the folders. It's available from the Braille Super Store. I suggest that you go to that site and search for the company's product return policy. Among the horrors you'll find in it is that no producted is warranted. One can never get money back in the event that a product is defective. I'm quite disappointed that such a product exists. I strongly suggest that you should consider not ordering it. I dislike writing negative comments. I do so now only because I don't want people to buy this device with no good recourse in the likely event that this product will not meet your expectations.
