- Rockbox – an open source firmware for some MP3 Players
- Works on many archos, Iriver, Apple Ipods and IAudio players
- Currently in development – not stable on some platforms
- Does not yet work on new generation 80GB Ipods or 8Gb IPod Nannos
- This is a mainstream alternative firmware
- It provides some accessibility because of
- Talking menus in the options screens
- Talking files and folders via audio clips
- Configurable interface – colours/fonts/sizes etc.
- A limitation
- Does not have full TTS capability – requires “talk”
clips to speak file and directory names
- PodZilla – porting Linux to the Ipods
- Potential to include flite and have TTS capability
