Hi Mary

It really depends on what you are trying to achieve.

I use the Alva BC650 with feature pack as a Braille output system for the PC 
and Mac products.
It also has a microphone on it, and speakers so that it can be used as a Skype 
in/out device.
Also, it has a Braille Perkins style inputting facility to be used with its 
on-board simple note taker.

I have loaded NVDA portable onto one of its two flash drives so I can use it to 
access various family computers without installing access software onto them.

Subject: [access-uk] Braille notetakers

Hi,

I am thinking about buying a Braille notetaker as I would like to read 
and write more in this form.  I know very little about the various ones 
available so could someone please advise.  I am tempted by the Pac Mate 
Omni, does this have the latest firmware on the market?  Does this have 
the largest storage capacity?  What other things would I need to 
consider?  Is there good support for the product here in the UK?

Any help much appreciated.

Regards

Mary
