I had a friend whose grandmother lived in London as was I at the time.&nbsp; His mother would send the grandmother a cassette tape from the family to listen to as her eyesight was failing and she had trouble reading letters.&nbsp; But she couldn&#39;t work the tape player after a while.&nbsp; We found one with big buttons and modified it by gluing on shapes she could feel - kind of like braille.&nbsp; I took it back to London and showed his grandmother how to use it.&nbsp; Your project sounds very worthwhile.&nbsp; Good luck with the idea and your mom.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Frank</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=6836&AppID=330&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
