Hi all,
Now that I hear about the Omni, their braille support isn't really being improved, I've been really fed up and disappointed using the Pac Mate at Uni with it's poor braille abilities, with pooror translation, having to write in computer braille, and it's useless second language support, not to mention the calendar. My question is, for a braille enthusiast like me, is the braillenote really my only other option. I'm hoping I could sort of trade the PM in for a BN, but what are the other options like, example a pda with pocket hal and a braille keyboard, or some other notetaker. I would like a powerful Word Processor and Diary, one that could even deal with books which contain tables, being able to mark important passages in some way also so that they show as marked on the braille display, and switching easily between languages such as German, I'm really not too concerned about internet connectivity and all the other functions. Another quite drastic option which I'd like to know more about is one of those Handitech displays which can also act as a notetaker, what is the Braillino like, how is it as a notetaker?
Thanks
Ari
