[Reader-users] Spanish

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Livio.
Yes, I have the classic reader, running the latest software version, which
might be 3.8.1?

Anyway, it reads the Spanish well enough that I can tell what it means. 
It's pronunciation isn't perfect, because, really, it's reading Spanish in
English, if you see what I mean.  But I can understand it without having
to take out the card and read it on my PC.
But I say all this with the caveat that I'm not reading the Spanish to get
real details--I'm just listening to it on my way to the English version. 
My Spanish is OK, but not so good that I'd want to use it for important
stuff where I needed to understand every word.
HTH.
Tracy
