Hi David
When you say the instructions were complicated in terms of setting it up at
least, do you mean that they were in a printed booklet or do you get the
instructions in a .pdf file? I am hoping that if I can get my Support Worker to
set it up for me at the very least, then the rest should come naturally, so it
would still be good to hear whether or not anyone has had success with the unit
as and when it is set up to work with various devices.
Thanks.

I could not get on with it at all. Upon receiving it, I inserted the
batteries and it asked me to set the time, which I managed to do. But that was
about all I managed. the instructions are extremely complicated and I could
not get it to recognise any of the four items of equipment I tried to match to
it. The buttons on the remote itself are fairly well spaced out, being mainly
in rows of four, probably about twelve or more rows, so around fifty buttons.
When I pushed them it would not talk to me at all. I ended up returning it for
a refund. I know of three other visually impaired people who tried it and they
all returned their product.
The voice itself, when I could get it to talk to me, was a fairly clear
female synthetic voice. can't remember whether it was American or english.
Maybe you would have more luck than I did with this product. Not recommended.

Hi
Has anyone please had any experience with the 7 in 1 Remote Control?
I went to the web site of the manufacturers today, which wasn't the most
accessible I have seen, but I managed eventually to get a broad overview of
what the product had to offer. Obviously the unit would need to be customised
to the units you have, but have people managed to get this working and speaking
items relating to televisions, video recorders, hifi systems, etc.
Thanks a lot.
