Maybe I am wrong but I have been under the impression that a blind person going in to a store has the right to feel murchandise which a sighted person can see. Certainly the John Lewis Stores will open a product and let me feel it, no matter what the product and they usually have demo models in their electrical department. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Andy

I honestly don't know how much the cheaper range of Olympus recorders are,
but I would suspect you could get something for less than £100. Perhaps you 
could try Argos, limiting your budget and asking to see a couple to feel?
The problem with them is that they don't often let you try the goods.  I
know the sort of thing you are after, but I'm thinking of quality as well as 
something reasonably cheap because of your hearing difficulty.  For that
reason alone, I would rule out RNIB completely and find something on Play,
Amazon or in the High Street.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie -

I don't want to pay upwards of 100 quid for anything, as It's not going to
have a great deal of use, it's just for those times when I need to jot
something down as it were, you know how it goes, your on a call, and
somebody gives you a reference number, I just want to grab a device, press a 
record button, and speak in to it. I think all the Olympus recorders are
more expensive than this aren't they? -

Hi Alan
Each to their own, a very subjective topic, but I personally wouldn't rate 
the audio quality for recording on the Penfriend as that hot.  |Yes it is
a
good device, and I have used ours extensively for labelling, but I
wouldn't
really rate the quality on it for someone who has a hearing difficulty as
Andy has for taking messages.

Just a thought.  Perhaps the DM5 or cheaper Olympus would be more suited
to
you Andy as the recordings on those are very good indeed.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Hi all -

I'm looking for a cheap but reliable gadget to have
near my phone for jotting down phone numbers and brief messages when on a
call. I don't want to pay hundreds of pound for loads of bells and
whistles,
just want a simple instantly recording device. Any suggestions? -

Andy
