Hi Folk, I too use the Voicemate [The Parrot] and find it great! There is another product I think called the Voice Diary which NCBI or RNIB could advise you on also. I increasingly use the mobile now but it is not as quick at retrieving numbers as The Parrot! Something smallish and compact is the idea. I for one hate to have to go to my computer for something like looking up a number or likewise when I could easily find that on the Voicemate or my mobile! It would indeed be good to hear others on the topic and what they use. All the best, Tony Sweeney. ----- Original Message ----- From: "noreenmeagher" <noreenmeagher@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 11, 2007 9:52 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: Reminder program! > Hi Susan & Paul, > For reminders, memos etc. I use the Voice Mate and also my mobile.
