Thanks Iain, I will check this out for Hazel, the Access Technology trainer. She has done some digging but can't find anything yet. Incidentally, I have to ask. My husband recognises your name as an ex Royal Blind School pupil in Edinburgh. Did you go there?

Iain ----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie Cairns To: Access UK Mailing List Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 4:19 PM Subject: [access-uk] Digital transcription devices Hi All I wonder if any of you could help with this one please. I help out at a class for clients using JAWS at our local Society for the Blind. The Access Technology trainer who works there produces her course materials on tape, and gets clients to type in the exercises using audio transcription machines and foot pedals. But the trainer is looking to move over to CD, but can't find any digital transcription units that will allow users to operate them with a foot pedal. The only machines she can find with pedals are all tape. So what I am wondering is whether there is perhaps a DAISY machine, for example, that could be fitted with a foot pedal to allow people to access CD as they do with tape. I am not aware of anything, but feel sure someone here will know if such a device exists. Many thanks for your help everyone.
