Yes, and if you use the mobile in this way, it does automatically dial once the number has come up, unless you stop it quickly enough.


There may be an option for just the number to show, but I haven't looked into that one.

I got the impression Tony was looking for a quick
way to record numbers more than to actually dial them.

Hi Tony

You can speak into your mobile though and say
the name of the person you want to call.  Agreed
it can be hit or miss, but I've had it working just for fun.

Hi Eleanor,

I mention that it has to bee a product like
speaking in a name to the device and the number comes bback
instantaneously! Mobile phone is not in this instance what I require!

Thanks

Tony

I don't think the RNIB do what your looking for
actually.  They do sell voice recorders if that
helps but none of the organisers.  One organiser
that might interest you is called the TapMemo and
Cobolt Systems sell it for £89.99.  I've pasted the info below.

This revolutionary hand held talking Organiser
has just one easy to use multi-function button,
with two additional volume buttons. Battery
operated and using verbal commands the unit needs
no special user training. It functions as a phone
book, short memo taker, appointment calendar, and
alarm clock. It will also speak the time and
date. Phone Book ­ Will accept up to 60 entries,
each one can store one phone number with a 7
second voice recording of additional data, for
example, a name or short address. Numbers can be
dialled automatically using the built in auto
dialler. Appointment calendar ­ Up to 30
appointments, each with a reminder and
chronological play back function. Memo taker ­ Up
to 30 memos, each up to one minute long. These
can be recalled using a name tag. Other features
include a Unit locator/low battery
warning/locking command/earphone/charging jack
and belt clip. It is powered by an internal
rechargeable Lithium battery. Fully charged in
less than 4 hours it will give 10 working hours
of power. Size 75mm ­ 2.9" (Dia) x 30mm ­ 1.2" (Thick).

Hi All,

My Voicemate (Parrot) I would say is "about to givve up the ghost)
on me! It was a great "little" product in the past for
recording primarily for me phone numbers which I
could recall by it's flash memory at a moment's delay!

Now anyone knowing that memo/recorder could you
kindly let me know if there is something very
similar on the market priced reasonably too
which I could look in to possibly purchasing?

Thanks

Tony
