Try going to: http://www.youtube.com/ and typing or pasting in: Spoken Menus in British on iPod nano 4G through Infovox iVox into the search box. Then bring up the links chooser menu (VO-U) and type "s p" to find the link for Spoken menus . . . etc. and press VO-space twice. (Once to go to the link and the second time to select it). It takes a little while for the video to load, but you should hear Peter start speaking the iPod menu. Not as entertaining as listening to Julie speak in French, and no music demos, but something to sample if you're an enthusiast of Peter's voice. I still think that Macworld did a better job with their video podcast of the Spoken menu options of the 4G iPod Nano, and they discussed the accessibility aspects of this (and iTunes 8). Anyone who is interested can find the link to podcast at the iTunes Store in the appended post (below). Or check the Macworld feed at: feed://www.macworld.com/weblogs/mwvodcast.rss And for those who missed Anne's post with the link to the YouTube video of Spoken Menus in French on the 4G iPod Nano it's at: http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z1d2fFlTqk and titled: iPod nano 4G : les menus parlés Cheers, Esther > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Esther" > Subject: Re: ipod sync progress is quite accessible: > > > Hi David, > > Assistiveware put up a YouTube video of Peter as the voice of the iPod > Nano 4G, but I don't think he sounds nearly as good as Julie does > speaking the menus in the YouTube link the Anne put up.
