Talking Audio Notebook
We all know the value of keeping key information in an address book. Here is a very useful upgrade to the address book, designed for a visually impaired person. Unlike pre-set alphabetical tabs, now you can place your own tabs personalised to your specific needs. Also, you do not have to limit the book just to addresses but can all your notes, appointments, reminders, family, recipes as well as addresses and phone numbers, all in one book. And with your PENfriend, the tabs will play back your audio recording, and so too the contents. This book will last for ages!
