Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The player itself is simple to use once it is loaded. The first setup takes some steps, though: charging it, moving books over from a computer, and learning what the buttons do. A family member with a printed or video guide can do this in about half an hour. It does not need a clinical assessment, so guided setup fits.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

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.
