On my more recent podcasts I've been using the Iriver IFP 899. It has a display, but it is simple to use once you get the hang of it and admittedly I have some vision, but I've heard of many others using it too. I got mine from ebay. There even a couple iriver models that work with rockbox, but as far as I know the ifp899 isn't one of them. -----Original Message----- From: blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jerry Berrier Sent: Sunday, April 23, 2006 1:00 PM To: blindcasting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Accessible Podcast Recorders As little as possible, of course, but I want a useful product, so I might be willing to spend a couple hundred or so if necessary. Instead of narrowing it down by price, can we talk about perhaps the top 4 or 5 most popular ones that are blind-friendly. That would sure be helpful. What are folks using? That's what I'd like to know. When I hear a good sounding podcast, I always wonder what recorder was being used. I've found a lot of information on various microphones folks are using, but not as much on the recorders. What do you use? What does Larry use? I was hoping somebody had done an overview of what's out there.

So, can anyone recommend to us a reasonably good, not necessarily professional quality, accessible digital recorder on the market that can be used for creating the audio files to be used in podcasts?
