Terry,

iSpeak sounds interesting. I read about it on the app store, on sale (?)
for $3.00.

I've used the freebie "I Say" push button speech software which works with
more than just contacts but it is not perfection by any stretch since it
does have to fetch wirelessly from the internet.

A few questions about Fonix's iSpeak...

Is it listening all the time?

If so...
Will it constantly be trying to fetch contacts, constantly and
erroneously?
And how does it affect battery life?

Best,

Andy

P.S. For a fun/mindless waste of boredome-time, grab "Arcade Bowling Lite"
if you like the arcade bowling game (Skee-Ball) of rolling the wood balls
up the ramp-lane into the concentric score rings! The $1.99 version lets
you fuss with the music and sound levels independently and a couple other
minor features. --A
