I am not sure if I have got this right? You need a computer to use it,
right?
Many, many local talking newspaper users have no computer and often have
to
borrow a cassette recorder from the local authorities. Will talking
newspaper
committees provide computers and the training? I don't think so. Still
as I
say I may have got it all wrong.
Cheers
Ron

also, users often make recordings back to talking newspapers when they
want
to make a comment or submit features of their own. the ability to record
using the newsbridge loud speaker unit would also need to be available if
this product is to replace the cassette.
Of course, as this is meant as an accessible product, the recording
software
should be accessible. I would go as far as to say that if the software is
mouse driven then I would treat any claims made about the product with
caution as if the recording program is not accessible than clearly the
developer does not really understand the needs of possible users of this
product.

Sort of replying to my own message, but thought some would like to see
the info for this device which is at:
http://www.bridgedigital.net/default.asp
At Last, a Genuine Replacement for the Analogue Cassette!
Bridge Digital is proud to introduce its easy-to-use, affordable and
environmentally friendly digital recording and duplication system.
If your organisation is a Talking Newspaper, Audio Book club or
similar, then NewsbridgeT is for you!
* Make high quality digital recordings from any computer
* No knowledge of digital recording required!
* Record from your home or office
* For your service users, playing a recording is easier than using
a cassette recorder
* Use existing volunteers for duplicating, packing and sending
* A reusable system that's environmentally friendly
* Half the cost of other digital recording systems
How does it work?
1. Use our NewsbridgeT software on virtually any computer to make your
digital recordings. It couldn't be easier, just use the controls
on-screen as you would on a cassette recorder. If you make a mistake
just stop, rewind a little, then record again!
Easy-to-use Newsbridge digital recording software
2. Duplicate the digital recordings onto 20 thumbdrives at a time, by
pressing a single button in NewsbridgeT. Alternatively, if making a
recording at home, just copy to a single thumb drive, then send it
back to the office for them to edit and duplicate.
Duplicate thumbdrives with Newsbridge
3. Send the thumbdrives to your service users - they just plug their
thumbdrive in to the Newsbridge loud speaker, and start listening!
Send thumbdrives to your service users
4. Thumbdrives are returned to be used

Comment:
Looks as if the software is very mouse driven, but of course I've not
seen this in action, so don't know.
