Talking Photo Album

[dmahoney]

Hi
I am considering buying a talking photo album off the Alzheimer's society website for my dad for Christmas, to add pictures of the family too. I have seen bad reviews of other similar albums on amazon but wondered if anyone has bought this one and had positive reviews or experiences?
Many thanks

The promotional video on the AS site
https://shop.alzheimers.org.uk/daily-living-aids/talking-photo-album
is for a 'Talking Photo Album (Deluxe Version) 200 minutes recording time with unique SD card memory' marketed by Talking Products Limited.

On the Talking Products site
http://www.talkingproducts.com/recordable-cards-gifts/talking-photo-albums-gifts.html
the deluxe version 200 minutes is different. No removable SD card but connectivity to a PC.
The video is

I suspect the SD version is discontinued even if it says 'new' on the site, I can't find it for sale anywhere other than AS.

The non SD is on sale on several sites and there are many reviews covering various likes/dislikes.
The one common observation is that it's OK for showing to a PWD, don't expect them to be able work it .
