No speech, no way.  It is not a radio I'd recommend for a blind person. 
Mostly menu driven, and if you're not quick enough, say take a second to 
refer to your braille list to see how many clicks takes you somewhere, 
it drops out of menus, no beeps or anything.  I have one because I won 
it shortly before my wife died and she thought it was so neat I won 
something, I've sort of kept it, but I don't use it much at all.  If you 
do get one, you'll need the q s y e r and also an external tuner.  Only 
cool things about this radio are its size, and it covers up to 440.  I 
sure wish it had speech.
