Hi. Yes, it does. Kiran was quite right when he said it will read the menus and if I am not mistaken, they are all recorded audio files and No TTS will be loaded on to the device.
Rockbox does three things in speech. It reads menus, it spells or speaks file names, and it spells and speaks folder names. Therefore, it reads the contents of the screen in certain circumstances. However, it is not a screen reader in the conventional sense, and it uses recorded voice files, generally included in the firmware, to speak the display.

I know that it has speech, but what exactly does the firmware tell you? Does it actually read the contents of the screen?
