Individuals who are blind or visually impaired may often need assistance finding specific items around their home or office. The PenFriend 2 is designed to make their lives easier as it is a voice labeling system that allows users to label anything and everything with discreet audio labels in their own voice.
The PenFriend 2 is a slimmer design than the original model and features 4 yellow tactile operating buttons that contrast against the pen’s black casing. The tactile buttons are designed to make it easier for the blind or visually impaired to use. Another new feature is an easy-to-use on/off recording function that prevents users from having to hold the record button while recording.
Features of the PenFriend 2 Voice Labeling System:
- Allows users to:
- Record their own voice onto self-adhesive labels
