[access-uk] Re: Talking Clock Recommendation

Hi Dean,

No, it has no record facility.  Instead it has 14 jingles, or sounds, as it
calls them, and you can assign a different one to each appointment.  So for
example, if you have an appoint concerning taking your dog to the vet, you
can have a barking dog to remind you.

All the best

Steve

How does the agenda work if the clock only has 3 
buttons, do you record notes with voice clips or something along those
lines?
