This was the first time I had seen voice activated text and it was great…you can look at the picture and not lose your place, and it is virtually mistake free and slower. I think it is the way forward.

...Just a quick note to say how excellent the tour itself was and how helpful (essential) the lipspeaking accompaniment was. Many thanks indeed to both Harry and Vicky - great job. I also thought the exhibition itself was tremendous and the 'balanced/mixed' curation absolutely right.
