A client just bought one of these and is very pleased with it. I thought I 
would pass on the info in case anyone is not aware that this is available.

  What is BibleCourier?  

  Think of BibleCourier as an electronic pocket Bible designed especially for a 
person who is blind or visually impaired. It doesn't weigh much (only 4 ounces) 
and its about the size of a small print New Testament (4 and a half by 2 and a 
half by 1 inches). So, BibleCourier is very portable and small enough to easily 
fit in a shirt pocket or a purse. It is powered by 2 double A alkaline (AA) 
batteries which will run BibleCourier for about 40 hours of continuous reading.
  The BibleCourier memory contains the full text of the sixty six books of the 
Old and New Testaments plus a users guide in a digital format (the users guide 
is also provided on a cassette tape). In addition to the full text of the Bible 
LBEA will also include as study aids with most of the Bible versions (not 
available with NIV, NJB or NRSV) a Bible Glossary, Bible Book Summaries, or 
Luther's Small Catechism. Note that the Contemporary English Version (CEV) may 
also be combined with the Apocrypha books (Tobit, Judith, Ecclesiasticus, 
Wisdom, Baruch, additions to Esther, additions to Daniel, First and Second 
Macabees) included with the books of the Old Testament. A page is available to 
help you Compare Bible Versions.
  BibleCourier has twelve buttons on its face which are arranged like a 
telephone keypad with a raised dot above the five key. These keys allow the 
user to swiftly navigate through the books, chapters and verses of the talking 
digital Bible. Each key also has built in help for its functions when depressed 
until two beeps are heard.
  The Bible text is not a recording. BibleCourier uses the DoubleTalk speech 
synthesizer computer chip (from RC Systems) to generate its synthetic voice to 
read the text of the Bible. There are five voices to pick from and the speed, 
volume and pitch of the selected voice may be adjusted to your preference. You 
listen through a set of stereo earbuds which are provided with the Bible or you 
may use an external amplified speaker (available from electronic retailers) for 
small group or personal listening.
  BibleCourier has many other features including the ability to read by 
sentence and set unlimited book marks within the text, the ability to read 
individual words and have unclear words spelled, and the capability to power 
search (i.e. jump forward or back many units) among the books, chapters, and 
verses of the Bible. A footnote feature can be enabled which will allow any 
related notes to be read in a higher pitch at the appropriate place in the text 
(however, not all Bible versions will contain footnotes). There is even a sleep 
timer which can be set to stop the reading after a specified time to conserve 
battery power. A page of BibleCourier key summaries is available to help you 
learn these functions.
