[Blindtlk] Simple to use digital recorder

[Nikki Wunderlich]

Hello Bonnie,

Go on www.olympusamerica.com and search for DM-520 and you should be able to
find a price on it. State Services for the Blind of Minnesota baught me mine
for a class I was taking. Sorry I can't be of more help at the moment, I'm
getting ready to get off of the computer, I'm getting a headache. I wish you
the best of luck finding him a recorder that will work for him.

Sincerely,
Nikki

Do you know how much it cost? I hate to suggest that this man pay $200
unless it truly is is what would work best. If he could payu less and still
get something that would be super easy in the way yours is, that would be
great. 
Also, the thing that I need to keep reminding myself of is that he is 80
year old and we are a bit younger. He does use the computer, however, with
magnification so perhaps he could learn to use a digital recorder all right.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Bonnie

Hello Bonnie,

I am visually impaired, and I have an Olympus DM 520 and I can read the
screen ok, but it also has speech, and tells you the battery level, and what
folder you are on and what file you are on. It is super easy to use. I love
mine. One thing though, I accidentally got rid of the speech on mine, and I
miss that function, and I want to get that back, but I don't know how. Well,
I hope that helps. 

Sincerely,
Nikki

Hello everyone,

I am working at an agency serving blind and visually impaired folks and I
work particularly with seniors. Recently I spoke with a gentleman, minister,
79 years old and still wanting to do his Sunday services. Very sharp but
cannot read at the pulpit any longer. I suggested recording his sermons and
then using a headphone and giving them as he listened through the headphone.
I told him that I would recommend a recorder. I went to the Olympus site and
there are several for about $50. Most of these were in the 800 series. I did
not see where any of them had speech and though most of them said large font
LCD, I just wanted to know if there is anyone out there who uses one and is
visually impaired. How easy is it to read the display. Any help or ideas
that you might have will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch,

Bonnie Lucas
