Well, I lucked out! One of our counselors at work got one over the weekend and I got to spend a few minutes with it today.
When you install the software on your computer and connect the IPod Nano there is a setup process that asks a bunch of questions and adds the "Enable Speech" icon to the general settings in the IPod. From then on the speech is using whatever synthetic voice is on your computer to create the speech for your IPod Nano. So that was why the clerk at the store was not seeing that option in the settings because it had not been setup with a computer in such a way as to turn on that icon in the general settings and load the necessary files in order to have speech output. ----- Original Message ----- From: "WES DERBY" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2008 11:25 PM Subject: RE: Itunes 8 now accessible : >From what I've read on the Apple site, you do have to be connected and find the options in yout iTunes software. : : : : -----Original Message----- : From: David Tanner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2008 7:19 PM : To: PC Audio Discussion List <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> : Subject: Re: Itunes 8 now accessible : : I went to Best Buy yesterday and looked at 8 GB model and the clerk could not find a menu choice to turn on speech.
