Glad to know you've got Old Sherlock going ... and you're finding it better
than the Voiler. Are the labels re-useable? Are they easily scanned once
recorded?
I'm thinking about this item and wonder how useful the labels would be, say, on
spice jars which aren't that easily labelled.
Any further comments most welcome, Jackie.

I have now got old Sherlock going, and I have to say it isn't exactly rocket
science to work it, particularly thanks to the PDF manual Steve sent my way.
When you first pick up old Sherlock, as I've sort of named him, it feels a
bit like the Colorino detector with its speaker and two buttons on the front.
There are some non-adhesive labels you can use, and some that you can peel off
the backing and attach to an item for identification. The speech and
indications leave the Voila for dead, as do the labels themselves, which are
better to get a grip of without flying to the ground unheard. I wish the
non-adhesive labels had been magnetic so that I could have put them on tins of
beans and spaghetti etc, but it's certainly an interesting concept for anyone
wanting to identify items in this way.
