Dear William and All Please see below: Firstly, we are very happy about the great deal of positive feedback we're getting from blind and partially sighted people who have started using the new MegaVoice Envoy audio Bible. Comments have been very favourable. "I use it all the time - most days. I love it!" says Wendy of Bristol, who had previously used the old model. The new one is lighter, slimmer and most people prefer the buttons. Jeff, a lay preacher who lives in Milton Keynes, is partially sighted and generally reads giant print. He's been using the Megavoice to prepare sermons. He's new to Megavoice, but says, "It's early days but I'm finding it easy to navigate with the three rows of buttons." And from Meryl of Aberdeen: "I mainly use the Megavoice for travelling. Its size and lightness mean it's amazing."
The new Megavoice Envoy available from Torch Trust uses the New American Standard Bible translation, weighs just 65 grams and measures about four by two and a half inches (10.4 by 5.8cm) by about half an inch deep (1.3cm). It comes with headphones and includes rechargeable batteries - recharged via a mains adaptor, USB adaptor (for use in a computer) or, as it has a solar panel, it also uses sunlight power. With a year's guarantee and instructions in accessible formats, the cost is £50; or £40 if the adaptor and lead are not required. It's post free to blind and partially sighted users.
