Thanks David. I am not really surewhat I am after at the moment. I know I want something very light, must have wi-fi and bluetooth but as I know so little about them at present I will keep reading. I like the sound of your Perkins type keys. I would like to input in braille and read back some information in dots instead of listening to a voice all the time. I have a laptop, desktop and iPad 2.
Thanks once again for feedback. Regards Mary Original message:
Hi Mary
It really depends on what you are trying to achieve.
I use the Alva BC650 with feature pack as a Braille output system for the PC and Mac products. It also has a microphone on it, and speakers so that it can be used as a Skype in/out device. Also, it has a Braille Perkins style inputting facility to be used with its on-board simple note taker.
I have loaded NVDA portable onto one of its two flash drives so I can use it to access various family computers without installing access software onto them.

Hi,
I am thinking about buying a Braille notetaker as I would like to read and write more in this form. I know very little about the various ones available so could someone please advise. I am tempted by the Pac Mate Omni, does this have the latest firmware on the market? Does this have the largest storage capacity? What other things would I need to consider? Is there good support for the product here in the UK?
Any help much appreciated.
Regards
Mary
