the standard labels are paper based and self adhesive so they'd be unlikely to survive a wash. Having said that I've re-used labels on food containers which have been through the dish washer.

It has all the advantages of having a normal long cane but gives either short range or longer range warning of any obstacles either in front or above. I do twist the handle to find out what is either side of me as well which is very effective. I can even track where people are when I a walking along the pavement . It has reduced the number actual hits I make with the cane and my own impacts when bumping into things. It is not a total solution to getting about but has made a big improvement for me. I recently forgot to replace the AA batteries so was left just with a long cane which showed me how much I am now using the sonar to get about. If you are thinking of trying one please bear in mind that it takes several weeks for using it to become second nature which is when the benefit really begins to show.

The rnib do a similar product but in the form of glasses. Both work on ultra sound but the ultra cain has a much greater distence up to 4m, weather this is of benefit is debatible on things like how much advance notice one would like. The basic idea is that you get vibration indication of when an object is in range of the ultra sound path. So for the ultra cain, this covers from just above your head to the floor and about a metre wide with a range of either 2m or 4m. The glasses from the rnib which are priced at ?80 I believe, only cover the top half arond head height to chest or waste I think and only does quite close range, not sure exactaly. The ultra cain has two vibrating bumps on the cain one for the top sencer and the other for the bottom sencer, giving you an idea of where the object is within your forward path. By twisting the cain left or right, it was very easy to get an idea of what was around either side and with a little practice I think would be quite helpful, especially in new or changing seroundings. The glasses from the rnib are to be used with either a regular cain or guide dog. They are not sufficient to use on their own. I haven't yet tried out the glasses but hope to do so soon. I hope this very quick review gives a little help into these products. best, John -- To find out more about BCAB and the benefits that membership can bring, please visit our website: http://www.bcab.org.uk/ To manage your subscription to the BCAB mailing list, please visit our website: http://www.bcab.org.uk/bcab-discussion-list/ To discuss matters relating to the mailing list, please email moderator@bcab.org.uk<mailto:moderator@bcab.org.uk>.

As the TTS's functionality is relatively limited, there aren't that many commands you need to know. Start and stop reading with the spacebar. Turn TTS on and off via the page preferences button (right of spacebar). while speech is running, use this same button to select either male or female voice and speed from three options. think that's it. Think continuous reading on the iPhone is 3 fingered downward swipe.
