It's still expecting one here (done as a strengthening exercise on the web). In an earlier question in this exercise asking me to translate "What does the man say?" it didn't want one ... although the hover hint misled me into adding one ...
Some people add an accent. It's not needed. No, there is no difference in meaning.

Back in my Greek School days (in the US), I'm sure I was taught that question words get accents. Is that not the case these days?
Yes, of course, "She" and even "It" ( something we see written) are possible and included as acceptable translations.

Τι λέει αυτός; I know αυτός is an option here, but if I insist to use it, is it the correct place?

The answer is yes. I had the same sentence again, and i could try it.
Good move and as you see αυτός can be used at the beginning or end...and for longer sentences in other places as well. We can't keep up with the alternative word order in Greek. :) But it makes for a very rich means of expression.

https://ibb.co/2khRWpB Is that not correct? Is it because of the wrong letter σ instead of ς ?
