I have typed for so many years, 30 plus in my job that I type much faster
than I can Braille. I sometimes take minutes in office meetings using the
Braille Note and sometimes have to think of the proper contractions to
input, I recognize any Braille errors but, sometimes writing it now is
difficult. I got the Braille note before the QWERTY keyboard and after
hearing that the keyboards are smaller than a typewriter, I am sticking with
my BT models but I can't write Braille as fast as I did in high school or
college.
I don't know if I could transition transcription to the Braille Note easily
other than the occasional phone number. If medical terms were in the
transcription I just have a feeling I'd be trying to type.

The advantage of transcribing in braille on the braillenote and then
converting to rtf for those not using braille is that braille writing is
very fast for me. I am faster at it than I am at typing and I am a fast
typist.
I have some knowledge of transcription as I used to conduct a lot a lot of
focus groups and ended up transcribing parts of the sessions for my reports.
I know it is time consuming. That is why I said I need people to be patient
when I agreed to do some of the work. I still intend to transcribe all or
part of Jim's interview. I will speak with those interested in helping.
One thing I will need to know is if there is a way of quickly stopping and
starting the recording itself. Also knowing if there is a way of bookmarking
the recording will help. Bookmarking might mean I can work on one part and
somebody else can work on another part. We can all co-ordinate and
co-operate and split up some of the work.
Please write me off list with suggestions.
