Hi Graham, There is the Olympus DM5 which I think is better than the DS50 which I originally had. It has 8 gb of memory and can also take micro SD cards, it has full text to speech so will give you file names and folder names as well as the time and date and battery status. Menu items are also spoken. There is also manual as well as auto record levels and you can record in MP3, Wav or WMA formats. The RNIB sells it for £210. You don?t pay VAT because of the text to speech facility. I think it compares very well to your DS75 but perhaps you might like to check it out at the RNIB shop and see what you think. I?m very pleased with mine! Cheers, Sandra.
