Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 More than likely, the Prodigy Voice someone got 2 years ago, or 3, or 4, hasn't changed. Try going to the Prodigy web site to contact them to ask if there is a newer model or firmware version.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi Dave, thanks for the suggestion. I'll give them a call and see what I can do. ________________________________ To: blind-diabetics Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 5:21 AM Subject: Re: The latest version of the Prodigy Voice  More than likely, the Prodigy Voice someone got 2 years ago, or 3, or 4, hasn't changed.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 , I just received a replacement unit from Prodigy in exchange for my old defective Prodigy voice. I honestly don't know the model number, but there is one big difference between the older units and the newer ones. The older units had a slide switch on one side that was used to eject the used strip. The new models no longer have this. Another difference is that the older model played a musical tune when turning on and off. The newer model doesn't do this, it just tells you it's on which is so much better IMHO. I don't know if others have experienced the older VS the newer models, but I see a huge difference in how quickly it grabs the blood sample. It seems to be much more sensitive which has made a huge difference for me at least. I just received mine a couple of days ago, and it works so much better than my old one. You should probably give Prodigy a call and ask them how you can determine you have gotten one of the latest versions. Their number is: Best, Rick From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Cassell Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 1:22 AM To: blind-diabetics Subject: The latest version of the Prodigy Voice I'm in the process of ordering the Prodigy Voice, but I want to be sure I get the latest version of the Prodigy Voice.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 The model I had was one of the first ones but can’t recall what year I purchased it in. It is definitely quite different from the new model I just received a couple of days ago.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi Rick, Prodigy also has changed their AutoCode meter. The older one was more square like, blue. It gave you the indoor temperature, as welll as, a 7,14,28,60 and 90 day averages. The newer model is quite different. It si, black and grey. It doesn't give the temperatyre. It only has the, 1, 14 and  28 day averages. However, I do like the screen display on both of them. Especially the newer one. ________________________________ To: blind-diabetics Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 7:25 AM Subject: RE: The latest version of the Prodigy Voice  , I just received a replacement unit from Prodigy in exchange for my old defective Prodigy voice.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 They got rid of the strip ejector and improved the way the buttons worked several years ago. The original PV's buttons were extremely sensitive. And that annoying musical intro--yikes!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi Dave, no the newer Auto Code doesn't have any additional audio. ________________________________ To: blind-diabetics Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 9:10 AM Subject: Re: The latest version of the Prodigy Voice  Does the newer Autocode have more speech output?
