New to the assistive technology market the DS40 has been approved by the Royal Institute for the Blind (RNIB). All the menu options of the DS40 can be set so that they are spoken as you scroll through and enter different options, making it the ideal voice recorder for the partially sited or blind.

Cyber Technology!

Reviewed by Peter - Posted 18 Aug 2008

Ignore the fact that it looks a bit like a Cyberman from Dr. Who and you will find that the DS40 is a very compact voice recorder high on features, long record times and boasts an excellent recording quality. For the visually impaired the DS40 comes into it's own, voice commands are spoken to the user, allowing for easy navigation through menus, options, settings and voice files. Designed with the backing of the The Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) means that ergonomically it wins too as it easy to identify the controls through touch alone.

Guidelines for rating products
Ratings should be fair and give a good indication of overall quality and usefulness. There's nothing wrong with giving a product a perfect or horrible review, just please indicate why you are doing so. The stars mean nothing to others if you don't tell us why.
5 stars: Excellent. Not only does everything it claims, but it is significantly more useful than many other products. This product is likely to be one you use often and you highly recommend it.
4 stars: Good. Useful and easy to use, though not necessarily special. This product is recommended but may be more suited for some people over others.
3 stars: Passable. May have some design issues and/or some missing features. Any problems it has are not drastic enough to recommend against, and some people may still find it useful. Recommended for those who need it and are willing to give it a try.
2 stars: Poor. The product is of low quality, usability, or just doesn't do what it says it should. You are recommending against this product, while noting that it might have some redeeming value for a few people.
1 star: Bad. The product either doesn't work correctly or is utterly useless. You can't think of any significant reason why someone should give it a try and are recommending that it be avoided completely.
