Guest guest Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 My son has an ipod touch 4, and he can record and play back on it. He loves it, because it looks like an iphone. He's very into handheld electronics, and he always has his " touch " with him. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 One of my son's teachers suggested this iPhone/iPAD app, Dragon Dictation. My son uses it on the iPAD to help with his writing assignments. It might work for your son's needs as well. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dragon-dictation/id341446764?mt=8 Lee in CA audio devices Speaking of kindles and ipods, therapist would like my son to have a mobile device he can carry around so that his " talk-back-to-OCD " scripts are at his fingertips. It has to be able to take a recording and play it back, and be " cool " to own (not one of those mini-tape recorders). I've been stumped, being slow on learning about all these devices. Any advice appreciated! Rhonda in Ohio What to write to my son? I plan to write my son as often as I can, but I'm in a quandary over what to ay to him right now. Normally, I'd say things like I miss you, can't wait to ee you, etc., but I think that would only make it worse for him right now. So any words (positive or negative) cause him stress so I can't figure out what to ay without stressing him out. Before I left, I picked up a postcard with a beautiful picture of a sunset ver a lake in Wisconsin. I wrote a note on the back telling him that there's a ake just like the one on the postcard right next to 's and how water is a alming and peaceful force and he can think of the lake whenever he is feeling nxious. When I talked to him on the phone he was disappointed because I didn't rite a " normal " note. I went and bought a drawing pad and colored pencils, some magazines, and a ook I dropped off before I left as well, but nothing seems to bring him any elief or solace right now. Would love to hear any suggestions you all might have on what I could write to im. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks for your help with this. Looking at the ipad and the ipod suggested, do both the ipod and ipad have to use ear phones? Sorry I am technology-inhibited. Son will not put an earphone in his ear but can touch device if it has built in speakers and thus hear message. Husband is looking at an MP3 - speaker docking set to see if that might work. Rhonda What to write to my son?

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 The Ipod Touch, newest generation, has speakers; he would be able to hear the music or message without earphones. I own one and have been taking it outside so my preschool class can dance outside (no headphones and no extra speakers).

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks for this info. Is there a monthly fee after you buy the Ipod? I started calling Apple to ask but gave up.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Rhonda, no, there's no monthly fee. You can store music from CDs on the Ipod or buy it from Apple's ITunes Store. I believe you can also record with it. Check Apple's website for more information.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I had an ipod touch and I have an iphone now and both had external speakers. I'm pretty sure the ipad does too. However, they were not that loud. Loud enough maybe. The docking stations work well though. > > Thanks for your help with this.
