I couldn't find the TouchMemo on Maxi-Aids website, but did find it at the LightHouse for the Blind at this website. http://lhb.cloud.kfx2.com/Visual-Aids-Store/p/_action/detail/category_id/17/ item_id/328 so now wondering has anyone compared these two items since both about the same price and if one has any advantages over the other? Also, does any one know how you attach the tags for the Sherlock or TouchMemo to the clothes? Do they have to be sewed on? Visual Aids Store Use the compact, pen-sized Touch Memo to record item details on special tags that you then attach to the item. When you need to identify the item later on, hold the Touch Memo reader pen to the tag and it plays back the description you recorded. It's that simple! It's easy to use: there are only 3 main buttons, plus a slide switch and a volume control wheel. This entire unit is self-contained (although you can use the included USB cable to transfer audio information from the internal memory to the computer, if you'd like.) You can record voice labels for virtually any item - from food items, medicine bottles and clothing at home - to files and important documents in the office - to projects and supplies at school. In the kitchen, label cereal boxes, cans of soup and spice bottles. Identify leftovers in the fridge or freezer - even record recipes and cooking instructions. Use it around the house to identify clothing, CD's and DVD's. The possibilities are almost endless.

I have not tested this, though I have every reason to believe it is true. We did test Sherlock tags in the washer and dryer, and we tested Sherlock labels in the freezer and know that they work. Attach the Sherlock label to a card and then attach the card to frozen food; this makes the label reusable because it is on a card and not on the food wrapping. To use Sherlock labels on canned foods, you must first attach them to our MagneTachers for Sherlock Labels, sold separately. These magnetic vinyl squares have rubberized steel in them which blocks interference from the metal of the can. They also allow you to reuse Sherlock labels when you replace canned foods. Let me know if you have further questions about Sherlock. Thanks. Terrie from APH Terrie (Mary T).
