The Road Runner(R), A Review

By Ring, Richard; Braille Monitor, Vol. 42, No. 8
Publication Date: October 1999

Article reviewing the Roadrunner Electronic Text Reader, a voice output electronic book (e-book) reader for blind and visually impaired persons. The author examines the operation of this device in detail, and concludes that it can be an excellent tool for computer users who read a lot of ASCII text files, and want to do so while traveling. The author finds that the Road Runner is small enough to fit in a pocket or purse, and provides excellent battery life, but he emphasizes that data can only be entered into its memory through a computer link.
