Voila Talking Label Reader
The reader is supplied with 50 self adhesive labels which can be stuck, tied or sewn onto the items to be identified. The device is simply wiped along the label, which is moulded to act as a guide for the reader. The user then speaks the name they wish to give the item. To identify the object in the future the reader is again wiped along the label whereupon it will speak the previously recorded name. Names can be changed or deleted so labels can be re-used as many times as required. Extra labels are available in sheets of 50. The reader can identify a maximum of 250 different labels and multiple copies of the same label can be used i.e. it would be possible to have 5 tins of peas all with label number 20 and they would all respond with the same name.
