A New Off The Shelf Product That Is Blind-Friendly
Ok, I usually don’t do any selling here on the BOSS blog, but I have run across a pretty unique product that I think outdoes the Victor Reader Stream. Not only that, but this is one of those few off the shelf products that also supports the blind and visually impaired. Off the shelf meaning that it can be purchased from a regular consumer retail outlet, and not from a specialized company that specializes in products for the blind. Could this mean that regular retail outlets and manufacturers are starting to come around to the blind and visually impaired?
Who knows, maybe more and more manufacturers will be developing off the shelf products that also cater to the blind and visually impaired. One such product that automatically comes to mind is the Olympus digital recorder line, and I am speaking of the Olympus DS-30, DS-40, and the DS-50 series of recorders that have built-in speech capabilities. Olympus is the only other main stream manufacturer that builds products that are blind friendly thta I personally know of at this time. There may be others, and if there are, please let me know of this so that I can take note of them here in the blog.
If you have a Victor Reader stream, you may want to check this out. This recorder does something that the Victor Reader Stream cann’t do, and that’s record in CD quality stereo. The company that supports this product is called Sound Professionals, and I have personally purchased products from them in the past, and their products are outstanding.
The purchase that I had made was for a pair of binaural microphones to use on my Olympus DS-30 digital voice recorder.
This recorder is called the, PLEXTALK, and it has a whole host of features that you just need to check out by clicking on the link here below.
