Hi Ray,
As a BW user of around four years now, I'd support and endorse everything
Sandra says about it. Two things I'd add. One is that the onboard Braille
translator is useless and you really need a separate program (I use Cipher) to
get your text files into Braille. Second is kind of adding to Sandra's
questions. The software which supports it and enables transfers from the PC
could be better.
Cheers now.
Ian

Ray, as a Bookworm user for about 18 months now, like Katrina, I have to say
I love it. I can get about six books on there which means I have six
portable braille books to read. It does take some time to get used to the
eight cell braille display which can be set to scroll automatically at
whatever speed you are comfortable with or you can advance it manually.
Once you've mastered the continually refreshing braille display, you can get
up quite a speed and the reading flows pretty well but don't get
discouraged; it took me about a month to really get used to it. If you
want portable braille, there's nothing better and I think it's worth every
penny.
Incidentally, can anyone tell me the version number of the latest software,
please? I got the new version for windows and it doesn't work very well and
needs updating. Also, where do I get it from, please? It doesn't seem to
be on the Handytech website.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Sandra.
