Hi
I learned braille using the hand frame back in the late 50's. then we had the stainsbys, remember all that noise of 10 stainsbys crashing together, what would health and safety say now with 10 blind people wearing ear muffs and not being able to lipread the teacher. and then, the taylor frame with the lead, yes lead, type. Then came the perkins. Computers, what were they, not in my school, but then i left in 69.

Hi Wil,

You can now order the penfriend from the RNIB.
And to answer your questions,

Yes, you can easily use the lables more   than once just re-record them.


And you can use the lables for item's in the freezer too.

If you want to watch/listen to a demonstration of the same, why not go

Hope that helps, best wishes, madleen

Hi, has anyone found out more information on the RNIB penfriend.
*can we re-use each label more than once
*will the labels be able to used to recognize foods that have been in
the freezer?

Will
p.s. can the instructions for it I wonder, even though it is not
released yet, be downloaded anywhere?
