Re: Reasonably priced digital recorders?
Is it easy to tell which Olympus model talks? Thanks, Dane Mary Quoting Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net: Howdy! I wonder whether just a cassette recorder may do the job? You can still buy the typical desktop machine with the classic piano key type arrangement for well under $200.00 here, I just checked with one of the stores where I buy radio gear from. I'm not sure I'd recommend the Zoom H1 that many list members use, whilst I'd term the device as veyr easy to use some of the buttons are very small and unless you're really concentrating then they can be easily knocked thus changing the mode of the recorder. One of the cheaper Olympus models that talks? Well that may be an option worth looking at too!

Re: Reasonably priced digital recorders?
I think they all do as far as I know and I think prices start from $100.00 or so, have you taken a look at Independent living Aids at http://www.independentliving.com as I reckon that would be your best bet for further information.
