I suspect what the rnib mean is that they can't guarantee its suitability
for a person with dyslexia,
they sell a number of models one of which sells for around £10.
it (as you would expect) has large clear print and does talk.
its a basic model not scientific and its biggest weakness is that it does
not have a headphone socket,
it does however have a volume control and can be used with the voice
switched completely off.
at the price its probably worth trying out.
