My mother was totally blind for the last 70 years of her life.She was fiercely independent and insisted on living alone in her apartment until she passed away at 94.
What complicated things was I am her only child and lived 50 miles away.
This made it difficult for me to be around to do things for her requiring the assistance of a sighted person.
One of those issues was reading her mail. I tried buying her a fax machine and paying for a fax line so she could send me her mail and I could read it to her over the phone.
But today’s fax machine have tiny buttons and LCD readouts that require good eyesight to use.
If you are blind, it’s easy to cause paper jams and harder to correct them, so the fax idea didn’t work out.
Then I came across this device, designed for blind folks.
You put your document, whether it be a piece of mail or a book you want to read, under the scanning arm and push a button.
The device scans the page and then a voice reads the text to you. There is a control knob you can turn back and forth to speed up or slow down the voice.
It incredibly easy to use and hard to screw up.
It was a Godsend for my mother.
Now that mom has passed away, its time for someone else to get some use out of it.
Initially, I paid ,600 for it.
I am asking for a fraction of that -
9 obo plus shipping.
I hope that is not too much to bring happiness to your loved one by lessening their burden.
