Hannah, how does the penfriend work? Can you describe it please? Also can you put the labels in the freezer? Do they stick or what? Are they re-useable? Can you use them on tins? Please explain as I am thinking of buying one, so many people have them. Disability is not a barrier to life, 

just another hurdle which has to be overcome.

Indeed Jackie, this is how I identify my foods.  I put a label on them.
Means I can, if the label doesn't fall off, which 9 times out of ten it
doesn't, pile everything in the freezer and have informed selection of my
foods.

Hi Will
Before you put it in the freezer, mark it in some way so you know what you 
will be opening.  You can identify packaging with Braille Dymo, the
Penfriend and other ways if you are so inclined.   If someone helps you
round the supermarket, make a note on a voice recorder of how long to shove 
it in the oven.

There are talking bar code scanners I think, but I'm not sure where
you'd get them from and they are not designed to do what you want.
The only product i can think of is developed by an Italian company,
but as usual it is incredibly overpriced. I'll have to take a look
around to try and find the link for you. Although I think Steve Nut
may

sell it.

Hi all,


Has anyone developed a product that we can run over a box of food
for

example and hear what it is, and how long to cook it i.e., the

instructions?

I can use the penfriend but yet again, need sighted help to actually
know

what I am about to cook in the future

I"d have though by now a device to read just I don't know, shepherds
pie

oven cook x degrees for 30 minutes for example, would have been
invented for us blind folks by cobolt or a similar company
