Hi Roger - Ah yes, I saw that one, and realised I'd still have to buy a separate recorder. I'm not really needing to record a conversation direct, but just want to speak notes in to a recorder when in conversation, so just a hand held note taker with quick record. Going to look at the NIB, as Jack and Eleanor suggested. I only go there as a last resort these days - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: roger.south@xxxxxxxxxx To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 10:44 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Cheap note taker for phone messages Hi Andy Just looked on the Maplin site and found catalogue number MU66W for £12.99 which is the gizmo I have that works perfectly. The recorder you use is up to you. Mine is a cheapo that I got from Gizoo but there are many others on the market. I too have a hearing loss, in fact 96% on the left and 98% on the right and I manage this set up with no problems.

I don't want to pay hundreds of pound for loads of bells and whistles, just want a simple instantly recording device. Any suggestions? - Andy
