It depends on the model of the ipod, for example the 2nd generation ipod nano's and later dont have speach support, (though i've found if you know your music you dont need speach), and some agree with me, and some dont... The video ipods and other mp3 players can be supported with open source software called rockbox, www.rockbox.org i think. I could be wrong though. It is doable, though as previously stated if you know your music you dont need speach on the ipod. Remember as well, if you use rockbox you can't sink your music with itunes. Well, you can, but you can't access that music with rockbox. Meanning music bought from the itunes store, napster, or audable wont be able to be accessed with rockbox. It became a grait pain to have to re boot the ipod just to listen to an audable book, so honestly i think it not worth it. But that's how i feel, and if your friend wants speach, he/she/you should check out rockbox http://www.rockbox.org hth a bit! thanks check out my personal blog and podcast at http://www.gwfans.net "the best things in life are unseen, that's why we close our eyes when we kiss, cry, and dream!" msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype: mouki2005 personal email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Oct 4, 2007, at 11:28 PM, Kathy Simic wrote: > Hi All > I have a client who has recently lost is vision and has an iPod that > he would like to continue to use.
