I was able to successfully pare both my Blaze EZ and Blaze ET with my Amazon 
Echo. This means that the Echo may be used as a BlueTooth speaker for the 
Blaze ET or Blaze EZ.


Do you know that The Blaze ET is the first and only Book reader and MP3 
player that may be pared with your Hims Note Taker or a Hims Braille 
Display?


It works very well, too! I did it with my Braille Sense U2 Mini!

Olympus has a few models with talking menus. In fact, someone was selling an 
Olympus DM4 on one of the buy sell trade lists just a couple of days ago for 
$100. I personally own a DM4 myself and it's a terrific little recorder and 
extremely accessible.



Best regards,

Rick Alfaro

Subject: recommendation for a low-cost digital recorder?

Howdy folks

I have a friend whose interested in getting a digital recorder, she 
doesn't have an iPhone, at least not yet.  She would prefer to spend no 
more than $100 to $120 tops, and since she's also blind it would have to 
have some kind of voice guidance.  Barring that, she'd have to have 
someone go through the menus and learn them that way.  Is there such a 
recorder?  I remember back in he early 2000s, there were lots of 
recorders that you could use and they were really accessible, they were 
great for podcasting.  I'm not sure if such recorders exist nowadays, 
but it would be great.  I'm also kind of curious about this myself I 
have to be honest.  But if anyone has any ideas that'd be great!

Thanks folks!
