I have now got old Sherlock going, and I have to say it isn't exactly rocket science to work it, particularly thanks to the PDF manual Steve sent my way. When you first pick up old Sherlock, as I've sort of named him, it feels a bit like the Colorino detector with its speaker and two buttons on the front. There are some non-adhesive labels you can use, and some that you can peel off the backing and attach to an item for identification. The speech and indications leave the Voila for dead, as do the labels themselves, which are better to get a grip of without flying to the ground unheard. I wish the non-adhesive labels had been magnetic so that I could have put them on tins of beans and spaghetti etc, but it's certainly an interesting concept for anyone wanting to identify items in this way.
