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.
