MessageHi Aedan,
Thanks for that and I will do some more research into the phones in Argus as
they do have listed, two, three and four handset BT digital phones on
catalogue.
I am sure that when you retire, and become a house husband, you will find lots
of tecky ideas around ways to fast track the daily chores(*smile*)
Regards,
Noreen

Hi Noreen, Sorry for delay in rreplying. I don't know about the BT phones now
in stock but the original cordless we had had the voice on the base unit. I
assume all BT stuff probably has this feature. The unit I have now has 4
cordless handsets and a base unit that is very small and futureistic. It gives
great coverage all over the house and it is digital. Handsets are very small,
like a mobile phone. It can also be used as a internal system and you can call
up any of the four and pass incoming calls around, very handy. Fine on bump
ons. I must look that up. I use them like you on dishwasher, and washing
machine. I retire next year and I assume there will be some role reversal and I
will become a househusband!.
Regards
Aedan.

Hi Aedan,
Also the talking kitchen scales should be added to the list , and not
forgetting bumpons. I use bumpons on cookers, washing machine, dishwasher and
microwave (mine is not a talking one) and even for the different settings on
thermostat on radiators. A selection of different size, shape and colour
bumpons are now free from NCBI shop.
By the way Aedan, do you know details of cordless BT phone from Argus that
you mention? Checking their catalogue does not give you any information about
built in speech etc., on the different phones listed.
Kind regards,
Noreen

Hi Susan,
I have many gadgets from cobal including a talking 10 ft steel rule that
can read in inches or mms at a press of a button: i have atalking thermomater
that is very accurate for use on yourself or children. I have a talking
indoor/outdoor talking thermometer for the weather. I actually hav three of
these as I have one in the house and one in my radio shack and one in my
holiday home. I also have a talking bathroom scales all from Cobal, which I
ordered through Breda Dowlihng in NCBI.
Another must-have is a talking colour detector, again very reasonably
priced for what it does and apart from telling you the colour of the clothes
you wear to four degrees of shade, it can also with suitabel care, read the
colour of electric wires for the likes of us D I Y fanatics!
I have found that most of the BT phones of any type including cordless
from Argus all have built in speech that announces every function and perfectly
usable by a totally blind person like me. I particularly like the beep it gives
if a voice message is left. Very handy indeed.
Lastly, the gadget to measure your paper money is invaluable and cheap
enough.
Regards to all,
Aedan O'Meara.
