Description

Our simple and easy-to-use CNIB PenFriend 3 enables you to record your own audio labels for a wide range of items in and around the home, at school and work. When you need to identify the item, simply place the PenFriend on to the label and it will play back your recording! It can also be used as an MP3 music player and Talking Book player.

Instructions on how to get started with your PenFriend are built into the packaging and are announced in an English female voice; simply switch on the device and touch one of the tactile instruction hot-spots on the packaging.

  • Each label holds a message up to one hour long.
  • Record new messages on to any label to reuse them where possible.

  • Organise household paperwork and personal documents.
  • Identify your film and music collections.

Important

  • You must buy extra label packs in sequence to ensure you don't have duplicate labels; they are individually numbered. If you have two with identical numbers both labels will read out the newest recording attached to that number. After you've used the labels supplied with your PenFriend purchase Pack A of the general purpose tactile labels, then Pack B and so on.
  • Please note, the PenFriend does not scan and read text. 
  • USB cable, Male A to mini-USB not included or sold by the CNIB and can be purchased elsewhere
  • SD card (not available from the CNIB), if you wish to expand memory. File backup and using an SD card: If you’ve access to a Windows-based computer you can back up and manage your recordings with the free Label Manager software. You’ll need a USB cable (not included) to access the Label Manager. Changing the SD card to expand memory requires a computer. Sighted assistance may be required for the process of removing or replacing the SD card.
