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!
