Hi,
Narrator on Windows 7 is not too bad, to activate, press the windows key and type narr then hit enter. This will start narrator. Give it a go and it might do your job until you get windows eyes. 

Regards,

Mike

Hi Derek
Many moons ago, there used to be something you could purchase from RNIB called Freeze Alert. You tied it to the inside of your freezer, say on a shelf or something, and it certainly bleeped if you left the door open when it detected an increase in temperature. It was pretty loud and aggravating when you were packing shopping away, for example, but it was a useful gadget. I don't think such a device exists any more from RNIB though.
Similarly, there used to be a Rain Alert device from RNIB that you hooked up to a sill with an outdoor sensor. I found this a brilliant gadget for alerting me to rain if my son was playing outside as a child as he liked playing in the rain if he got the opportunity, (smile). It was really useful for knowing when to bring in the washing too. I wish we could have this gadget back again! I remember that the window-cleaner who did his round at that time used to tease the life out of the Rain Alert by splashing it so that I'd go outside to find out what the weather was up to. 


Kind Regards,

Hi  all
Does anyone know if there is such product that would Alert one if say 
the freezer went off.

I was  thinking it might work like this.
Plug the alarm into wall socket, and the freezer into the Alarm. If the 
freezer fails, the alarm would  sound.
