Hello listers,
I read in the RNIB's February Technology Update that they will soon be
selling the Milestone 311 digital recorder and MP3 player. For those
of you who don't receive this update, here is the info.
The Milestone 311 is a portable digital voice recorder and MP3 player,
the size of a credit card. It can record up to 2 hours of voice notes
using the internal memory, or up to 140 hours using an external memory
card. You can organise your notes into five folders and label them
with voice tags. In addition, you can record from an external stereo
source or a microphone in hi-fi stereo quality. The Milestone 311 can
connect to your computer to enable the transfer of audio files or
books for listening on the move using the integrated MP3 player which
is fully self-voicing. An upgrade will be available later this year
for customers wishing to play DAISY books.
Dimensions: 85 times 54 times 14 mm (3.35 times 2.13 times 0.55
inches)
Weight 49 grams (1.7 ounces)
Price: £180 excluding VAT
I did a search on the web for more information and according to a
review on the Blind Accessworld podcast this device has some
limitations compared to other products such as the bookport. If
anyone has either heard or read about this device I would be
interested to hear their comments.
Best wishes,
Clive Pallett
