Cheree Heppe here: Yah, I was worried about how he would master the touch screen.
I guess it would just take a trial and I shouldn't borrow trouble.

Rather than spending thousands, he can do this with main stream technology. And if the touch screen is too difficult, he can accomplish most things with the keyboard. Otherwise, check out the Blind treasures website. there's always someone selling their unused notetakers there.

The person, to the best of my knowledge, continues to use this device. She was being denied help getting a note taker by, you guessed it, the Oregon Commission for the Blind. An elderly friend finds himself in a remarkably similar position and requires a voice readout note taker because he can't read Braille. I already tried a Braille keyboard voice output note taker to no avail because he doesn't know the Braille keyboard and symbology. Of course, nobody's teaching him, either. He is familiar with use of the qwerty keyboard, such as on a Type-n-Speak. A Type-n-Speak would let him have better feedback to phone numbers and notes than using the recorded voice memo feature of the phone. He once was a very savvy Apple tech user before going blind. He needs a note taker so he can write down instructions and such and take it with him for notes and phone numbers when he is out. Because we are going to have to get this ourselves, any referrals to reasonably priced Type-n-Speak equipment would be appreciated.
