Hi Ray,

All the best
Steve

I think I saw someone ask if the Braille sense supports foreign languages.
I don't think it does, and the fact of these not being mentioned on GW
Micro's FAQ page about the BS makes me think it doesn't. You could always
contact Force Ten who sell it here and ask them, or ask at Sight Village in
a couple of weeks.
If you want to peruze the manuals they're at:
http://www.gwmicro.com/Braille_Sense/Manual/
It is a pity about the Icon notetakers/organisers not being available here.
I sometimes get the impression America can be a bit parochial about the rest
of the world, but then again maybe it is the way the organisation making it
is funded. Someone needs to come up with a similar device because it would
appear to me to point the way to a portable device that could do everything
you wanted, not be dependent on Windows and thus rather more secure, and
sell at a more affordable price, especially to those who don't want to get
into PCs and access software.
I hope something like the Icon will appear to handle streaming, DAISY,
recording notes, as well as having text imputs. An all round portable do
anything - outside of Office applications and advanced sound editing.
Cheers,
Ray.
