Well I didn't see those on the website and time is often an issue as far as
ordering and receiving them in. So I have taken to going to area thrift stores
and have already located three original cassette recorders myself. And will
dispense them to people as they need them. I have also bought some new and some
used cassettes I just thought I would throw it out there to the group to see
whether anyone had a cassette recorder collecting dust in the closets. Thanks
for your suggestions. This is what I'm going to try for now.
Hugs,
Andrea m. Breier

Andrea, many of the blind va centers are issuing the milestone as it appears
easy enough for the vets to use. The one I am thinking of is simpler than
the one mitchell or someone else mentioned. It does not have any radio,
clock, etc. Just the very basics. Many of the vets that go to the blind
rehab centers are newly blinded and some have other cognative issues as
well.

Well the problem is that some of these folks are very newly blind and even
if RSB would get them a recorder more than likely they would be the very
small digital kind. I went to NLS and read up on the other recorder and it
was very expensive and it seemed very complicated for what they might to
just do the very basic note taking.

Would rehabilitation services hope a person like that get some kind of
recorder?

andrea, don't have a cassette recorder but do have a suggestion for a
digital recorder that I think will fill the bill. Try the Milestone. I
have one and I love it. It only has five buttons. The main buttons have
the same markings that are used on the nls digital players. The controls
are large and easy to feel. Not sure how easy it is to even find cassette
tapes these days.

Hello everyone. I often meet people that are newly blind, or deaf blind
and
are trying to learn how to use a computer with assistive equipment. They
have no way to take notes. I was thinking that if they had a tape
recorder
they could refer to recorded notes to practice. These new digital
recorders
are much to small and complicated for newbie blind folks. I was wondering
if any of you listers have a recorder that is not being used and you would
be willing to give it to a great cause. I have 2 a p h recorders and they
both need to be serviced by the telephone pioneers before I can get them
into the hands that really need them. So if you or anyone you might know
have one, please email call or im me privately to get my address. You
could
emen mail them free matter for the blind. Thank you so much for your
consideration!!
