You should look at the Braille Sense U2 - released at CSUN - , Perkins keys ( or qwerty) blue tooth, GPS receiver, light, market leading storage and memory... and much more I am biased, we distribute it, but worth a look Regards Glenn -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mary Tottle Sent: 14 March 2012 19:41 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Braille notetakers 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.
