Subject: [access-uk] Talking pedometers
Anyone using one of these?
Looking at specialist providers for this item doesn't give a lot of
details on the product hence my questions:
Can they be set without sighted help? Do they give measurements of
distance in imperial or metric? Can they hold operation in memory? Is
this accessible?
Thanks in advance for any info.
Marie
