As far as I can recall, the instructions were on one sheet of paper. I did
have sighted assistance, but we just could not figure it out at all. You
have to put in a code number which in theory connected it to the make of
machine you wished to use it with, but on the four devices I tried I had no
luck at all.
I do not share your technical prowess Brian and you may well do much better
than I did.

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.
