NLS/BPH Digital Talking Book Cartridge and Player

prototype digital talking book

The player pictured is the basic model; the advanced model, which is also at the nearly-final prototype stage, is exactly the same size but has a second row of controls between the Power, Sleep and Volume controls and the speaker. The advanced controls are for setting and retrieving bookmarks and for navigating through the structured levels of a DAISY book. The player is about 6 by 9 by 2 inches, in comparison with the CBM, which is 9 by 11 by 3 inches, or 108 cu. in. compared to 300 cu. in. Weight of the DTB player is slightly over two pounds. The body of the player will be a dark charcoal grey (not the blue of the prototype), to create maximum visual contrast between the background of the case and the colors of the buttons.
