Franklin makes these for many languages, and they are not terribly
expensive.  You can find them at nearly any type of technology store,
sometimes Radio Shack, Staples, or Office Depot.  They are more easily
accessible and quite reliable.

Subject: Talking French-English Dictionary


Hi Everyone,
        I have a student who is blind and is interested in buying a
French-English (and vice-versa) dictionary, either a handheld
electronic one, or software that she could install on her computer and
access with Jaws. She doesn't want to use a web-based dictionary.
I have checked with a number of companies (e.g. APH) and haven't found
anything suitable. I did find a talking, handheld French-English
dictionary on the web (the Language Teacher EF600T), but I'm not sure how
accessible it is. If anyone knows of a dictionary that fits this student's
criteria, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks!
Athol Gow
