Carol,

I have used one a little but not extensively.  Quite a neat machine with
very clear natural speech.  Not particularly fast for brailling, but the
keyboard is adequate for short notetaking.

So do you have one, Dave?  If so, I'd be interested in your thoughts.  How
fast can you braille, etc?
