Hi Peter and Jackie

Yes I've spoken with Cobalt about their products and also
RNIB but I for now will stick with braille it's not the best
option but the cheapest and easiest as I already have a list
in braille but I will be looking around just in case other
types of gadgets are available.

I phoned both organisations yesterday and discussed their
digital recorders and thought that the Olympus ones were
ideal but it's the price which has decided me for now.

Anyway thank you both for your input, it's a pity that these
gadgets are so expensive! I would love to get a talking
mobile but they are so expensive! 


Regards

Adrien
