I used to have a Braille Lite and now I have a Braille Note because I was given it rather than purchasing it but I would prefger the Braille Lite. Guess that is just because it was what I am used to and do not find myself using the Braille note much though of course the fact that I can open Word docudments on it is helpful. It also means that at least I can use a USB to transfer documents and my version of the Braille Lite was old and did not have USB.

Thanks Jackie,Since my last note I've realised that I didn't say that he currently uses a Braillelite, and would now prefer a BX 420. How easy is it to learn the newJAWS commands through a Braille input keyboard? Thanks, Richard Godfrey-McKay Tel: (01738) 445 880 Mobile: 07791-452593 -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf OfJackie Cairns Sent: 20 February 2009 13:31 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: PACMATE BX OR BRAILLENOTE Hi RichardThe 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 alreadya 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.

I don't know how to advise him and wouldwelcome 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.
