Anthony,

Yes to both questions.  However, you'll need a list of the menu items 
because the VGS-1 tells you the numbers, but not the names.  It does, 
however, speak numeric values, and words like "off" and "on."  In some 
cases, it spells words like "a l l" and "c u r r e n t."  It also reads the 
names of the PF keys instead of giving them numeric values like it does in 
the 480.
