I could light the control first (no flashing, just static) and then speak the name but you would loose the flash. I could also light the control speak the name and the flash.

I'll have to take your word on that! :) I have no idea about the programming and signaling involved. If by lighting the control first *then* speaking the name, could the button to be lit *while* it's control function is being spoken, then maybe that would be my suggested preference.
From an instructional standpoint, if you *miss* the flash, and only hear the control spoken, you'd either have to listen to the controls over again or face making an erroneous assumption about it's function. ie: I think it would be most efficient to have the button lit solidly, while the control is spoken.
I may be completely misunderstanding what you've said, so bear with me. ;)

No, you got it. If I light the control before speaking, it will remain lit through the speech. It doesn't require constant communication with the LEDWiz to keep the control lit.
I'll test this idea out and see how it looks.

I made this change. I flash the control before speaking and then leave it on through the speech sequence. It is up on site as a new version 105.0.1
