I don't know of any receiver with Speech on the market.  You may want to
look at the settings when you first get the receiver but after that I don't
think you'll need to.  At least on the receivers I have seen anyway.

Hi;
Is a receiver available with speech for menus?  How extensive is the menu
system and how often to you really have to get into it?

well i have the myfi receiver which isn't of course adapted with speech
like some people on a certain list i won't mention, are whining about, but
it is easy to use, it has direct keypad entry, and other than that, i
really don't mess with menus so i don't know even what i'm missing
and well, some people will tell you you cant use the myfi in a home kit,
well, at least 2 of us on this list are, one of them is me so..you know
