Hi Scott! I am glad you asked before you made your purchase. I have been on a 6 year quest to find a decent talking heart rate moniter to use for my training. It is quite apparent to me that the people who have come up with the ones that are currently available are not visually impaired athletes themselves who need to use them on a daily basis. So as not to bore everyone with all of the details, I would love to talk to you on the phone to give you more details about what I have tried, and the various problems that I have had with them. My phone number is 668 8655. I will be available from 1:00 until 4:00 this afternoon, and also , I should be around some this weekend. By the way, Scott, Bob Carruthers, who I believe you have been communicating with about captaining a tandum for you is a good friend of mine; so maybe we can talk about that, too.

I was looking around to find a talking heart rate monitor through Google but only found one option. the Talking Heart Rate Monitor with FM radio from Oregon Scientific. I don't know anything more about the item than what the website told me. I'd like to know if anyone else has any experience with talking heart rate monitors and if you can recommend one to me. In case anyone is interested the website of the monitor I found is: http://www2.oregonscientific.com/shop/product.asp?cid=6&scid=9&pid=596 Sincerely, Scott Greenblatt Esq.
