I'm looking for one of these. thy used to be all over the place a few years
ago, now not even the blind organisations seem to have any. Apparently I'm
told that the new designs of electronic ones use lcds rather than leds so
were not so easy to put sounder onto.


So much for progress.

I have a talking steel rule.

Here's one, Brian. Not very cheap. I did find others - the keyword seems
to be 'audible'.

Yes all the same one I think. I do wish people who sell stuff would keep
their web sites up to date. its very irritating to find things apparently in
stock, wade through the e commerce hoops and then get an email saying its
out of stock you will be mailed if ever we get them back.
