You could get one of the  VN ranges on the net for about £30;  ideal for
most people.  buttons aren't huge, but have found it very usable.

Hi Andy

I honestly don't know how much the cheaper range of Olympus recorders are,
but I would suspect you could get something for less than £100.  Perhaps you
could try Argos, limiting your budget and asking to see a couple to feel?
The problem with them is that they don't often let you try the goods.  I
know the sort of thing you are after, but I'm thinking of quality as well as
something reasonably cheap because of your hearing difficulty.  For that
reason alone, I would rule out RNIB completely and find something on Play,
Amazon or in the High Street. 


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie -

I don't want to pay upwards of 100 quid for anything, as It's not going to
have a great deal of use, it's just for those times when I need to jot
something down as it were, you know how it goes, your on a call, and
somebody gives you a reference number, I just want to grab a device, press a
record button, and speak in to it. I think all the Olympus recorders are
more expensive than this aren't they? -

Andy
