Points to Consider:
Could be difficult to locate labels, but this can be easily solved by using tactile marking
Need to make sure that you know what you want to record as you cannot add further information to a label like you can with the ID Mate talking bar code scanner.
Currently the labels are not waterproof or washable, but there are plans to release washable versions
Labels cannot be microwaved.
The device is black with blue control buttons – it is not the best contrast
Lowest volume setting is 0 – if accidentally turned down all the way, could be mistaken for not working.
