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!

They have braille, a sound spot for recording a personalised message using PENfriend, access to an audio description from the artist about her designs, and some music. All made available with PENfriend or via QR codes. What a warm and wonderful way to spread joy at Christmas. There is also a delightful Diwali card with the same functions.
