Roberts PT9918 Pillow Talk Speaker - White/Cream

Product Information

While many speaker pillows only have one speaker, there are certainly many pillow stereo speaker options available. They have six keys to produce the Braille (one key for each dot in a Braille cell). Some Braille machines can use standard A5 and other standard paper sizes.

You can have your CD Player, iPod, or MP3 player provide the power to the speaker, but that usually requires your device supplying more power. You also risk the trade-off of potentially lower sound quality. The RNIB Library provides a wide range of library and information services for people with sight loss. Resources include talking books, Braille and giant print books, music and online reference services. DAISY material can be played on a stand-alone DAISY player, or by using DAISY software on a computer. Approximately 25 hours of audio can be recorded on a Daisy CD. If you have not learnt to touch type then finding your way around a computer keyboard may be difficult if you have low vision. There are keyboards and accessories which may help you to navigate around the keyboard. These devices can be used for most everyday needs and are held directly over the object to make it appear larger. The strength of magnification may vary between about 1.5 times (x 1.5) to 12 times (x 12). They are available in a range of physical shapes and sizes. How much bigger you see the item will also depend on the distance you and the magnifier are from the object you are looking at.Firstly, there is the simplest option; the under-pillow speaker. They are designed to be flat, lie under your regular pillow, and play through all of the layers of your pillow. Whether they are flat speakers, or micro-speakers, they’re designed to hide away under your pillow.

It’s a balancing act that will depend on your preference. It’s a choice of more devices to charge and better sound quality, or an easier time with one less device to charge but maybe lower sounds quality. Most push-button telephone keypads have a raised dot on the central five key to help orientate a user relying on touch. Some of the phones in this group have a number of 'one-touch' memory buttons that dial stored telephone numbers. RELAX AND UNWIND: The easy to use app also includes a range of guided meditation sessions to help you fall into a relaxed sleep; or you can choose to unwind and listen to your own playlist. Try your favourite apps, music, podcasts and audiobooks from the comfort of your pillow. The speaker is removable, which means the pillow is machine washable at 40°C. I will say it time and time again, it is so important to keep your bedding clean and fresh. Also, being removable, this means that both the speaker and pillow can be used independently as a regular speaker and pillow.The choice over how you send the audio signal between the pillow speaker and your device can be absolutely crucial. Then again, if you are simply planning on playing a white noise machine then sound quality does not have to be a priority.

These may be helpful if you have low vision. Some models have keypad buttons with varying shapes to facilitate identification by touch and some have large LCD displays. These features are available on corded, cordless and mobile telephones. It doesn't render high frequencies quite as well as the Pillow Talk, meaning podcasts and audiobooks can sound a little muddy, but very reasonable for the price and superior to the more expensive Sound Oasis Sleep Therapy Pillow Speakers below.

That's not an issue, though; the sound from the Pillow Talk is the best we've heard from any under-pillow speaker, and whatever you like to listen to at night, we think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately, it comes with the pillow speaker territory that you are not going to get high quality studio sound. This is partly because it’s not the most in-demand kind of speaker and also because it often has to play through the fabric of your pillow. These computer keyboards with Braille keys and are different in design to the traditional QWERTY keyboard keys. It uses a Bluetooth connection with a massive range of up to 30 meters, so you can even connect to a device in another room if you like. No need for replacing silly AA batteries, there is a built-in rechargeable battery with ample playtime to last you well through the night. If you have weak or shaky hands, using a magnifier on a stand may be ideal for reading and, if the stand is tall enough, also for writing.
