Hello everyone
As we are now taking bookings for our 6th October note-taker training day, I
would like to make a few remarks on our findings and thank those on this
list who completed our questionnaire back before August.
Everyone who answered the questionnaire reads and/or writes documents on
their note-taker, probably the main reason for having one. I think that's
similar for blind people using a PC, except there it's more e-mails than
documents. The second most popular activity on note-takers is using the
media player, but there, 30% don't use it at all and under 40% use it often.
The media player functions on a note-taker are highly accessible. That
can't Always be said for PC or even Mac software so you could use your
note-taker to get into the digital sound age for playing and recording
anything audible. Similarly, the database facility on note-takers can be
the means of introducing yourself to data processing.
The majority of note-taker users are not surfing the internet or sending
emails or synchronising their device with their PC. I know we can't or
don't want to do absolutely everything but being able to do a bit more Than
we did before is pleasing and, well, empowering. So if you want to come to
the AVIOS Note-taker Training Day, keep Saturday 6th October free - more
information to follow.
