Hopefully the next firmware release will allow navigation by word and character so that we can understand these words and know how names, etc. are spelled. It would also be helpful when navigating by letter if one could hear the letter names spoken as "adam, bravo, charlie" for "a, b, c" etc. as with other reading devices for the blind.

I am also noticing with this latest 1.1 software that some words ending in e-r like printer, it is leaving the last sylabol off. Otherwise, the e r is pronounced aw instead of er. I am trying to think of others. I just read a book on neurosurgery, and there were a couple of medical words that left me scratching my head at until I thought them over for a moment. I think that was more of a case of an accent being misplaced. The one that bothers me the most is aws or aw for ers or er.
