Bill, thanks for the information, hopefully it will be a better product than
the "Narrator".

Subject: [VICUG-L] Talking Digital AM / FM HD Radio

 

A little birdie has allowed us to release the following information:

 

The new talking HD FM radio we've hinted about is due to be introduced
officially to the market during the C.E.S. (Consumer Electronic Show) in Las
Vegas January 8th. The radio has a form factor nearly identical to that of
the Narrator. The features are also similar with some enhancements.  The
radio will be manufactured and sold by Audio Vox. For the general public,
the radio will sell for $149, however, those with vision impairments will be
allowed to use a special coupon code which will reduce the price to $99. The
radio will be initially available from the Audio Vox web site
http://www.audiovox.com. I'm sure Sun Sounds will be selling them also. The
radio is a stereo AM/ FM HD radio with tactile buttons, a large print
display, snooze / alarm / clock,  presets, scan up and down, manual tuning,
Auxiliary input, headphone jack. The radio announces the buttons pushed, as
well as the results of a button push. For instance, it announces the name
and frequency of stations as you tune. Or, it announces when you switch from
FM to AM to Auxiliary.
