Bones Helen Vibrating Clock
$524.99 – $525.00
Helen is a credit-card-sized clock that tells time and signals alarms and reminders through vibration instead of sound or sight. It has large, tactile buttons rather than pointers, so someone who is both deaf and blind can set their own alarms and timers. A speech function can also be turned on, which helps when communicating with caregivers or teachers. A separate vibration cushion comes in the box. Plug it in for the alarm, and the stronger vibration can wake a heavy sleeper. The small size fits in a pocket, which suits commuting or a busy day away from a desk.

Milestone 312 Ace
$495.00
The Milestone 312 Ace is a palm-sized player that reads books and plays audio for people who can't comfortably read print. It plays DAISY books (a talking-book format), NLS downloads, and Audible titles. It also plays common audio files like MP3 and WAV, and reads text files aloud with adjustable speech. With just 6 buttons, it's built to be easy to handle. It also records, so it can capture quick notes or a full lecture. It holds 12 GB on its own, and an SD card adds up to 32 GB. You'll load books and files from a computer over the included USB cable, so someone comfortable with file transfers will need to help the first time.

Milestone 212 Ace Simple Book Reader
$420.00
The Milestone 212 Ace is a palm-sized player that reads books and audio aloud, using just six tactile buttons. It plays DAISY 2.02 books, NLS downloads, Audible titles, and common audio files like MP3, WAV, AAC, and WMA. It also reads TXT files out loud with adjustable text-to-speech, and it records through a built-in microphone for quick notes or long lectures. You load files from a computer over the included USB cable, and there is 2.5 GB of built-in memory plus room for an SD card up to 32 GB. This is the simpler model: it has no talking clock and can't take the optional upgrades or add-ons that the 312 Ace supports.

Milestone 312 Ace Text-to-Speech Book Reader-Player
$525.95
The Milestone 312 Ace is a credit-card-sized pocket player that reads text files aloud with built-in text-to-speech. It also plays DAISY audio books and music, records voice notes, and works as a radio, clock, and alarm. It handles a wide range of formats, including MP3, Word documents, EPUB, Audible files, Bookshare books, and NLS books, and you can speed up or slow down playback. At 1.9 ounces, it's easy to carry all day. Most of what it does is reading and listening, so it suits someone who is blind or has low vision and wants one small device to replace several. You'll need to load your own books and files onto it from a computer.
