Hi all

Not forgetting the BrailleSense Plus at a better price and better specs than the BrailleNote MPower, to my mind anyway.

Hi Jackie,

I agree with all you say about PacMate, but I still feel the Braillenote has
the simplest interface and the best help if you are not tech savvy.

All the best

Steve

Hi Richard

The Pac Mate is now on the 6.2 release, providing more ability to use
grade two Braille input across applications.  The fact that your friend
is already a JAWS user means there will be continuity when using the
same commands on Pac Mate.

The Omni 6.2 release also allows the user to open Office 2007 documents.

Your friend is always welcome to contact me to discuss his requirements
further.

Subject: [access-uk] PACMATE BX OR BRAILLENOTE

Hi a friend who currently uses JFW with a Braille display wants to buy
either a PacMate or Braille note.  I don't know how to advise him and
would welcome any comments please.

I gather that he's not going to use advance features, but principally
for taking and reading notes in fairly high-powered meetings.

I always liked the idea of the BX because it runs a form of Windows and
presumably the learning curve isn't so harsh for a JAWS user.

Please let me have your thoughts.
Thanks,

Richard Godfrey-McKay
