Individuals with visual impairments may often need assistance finding specific items around their home or office. The PenFriend 3 Voice Labeling System is one potential solution. According to MaxiAids, the PenFriend 3 is a “best-selling, affordable audio labeler for users who are blind or visually impaired.”
The PenFriend 3 Voice Labeling System allows you to label anything and everything with discreet audio labels all in your own voice. This upgraded model of the PenFriend is a slimmer design than the original model and features 4 simple yellow tactile operating buttons against the device’s black casing, making it more accessible for those with visual impairments.
Here’s how to use the device:
“To use, simply allocate one of the coded self-adhesive labels, record and store your message on the PenFriend 3. To play back a recording, make sure that the PenFriend 3 is in the default Recording mode (red light). Touch any label with recordings and you will hear it played back. There is no limit to the length of each message. Auto power-off after 3 minutes.”
