Good idea James,
If I can get the time off from work, I may come along.
Thanks for all your help on this.

Sharon, can you get to Sight Village this year? I'm sure you'll be able to
look at all the various models there and ask any questions you may have.

I've got a PacMate with a qwerty keyboard and was interested to see what
Jonathan wrote in his blog. Having read what he had to say I think the best
thing is to arrange one-to-one demos of the PacMate and theh BrailleNote -
and whatever else is available. It just comes down to personal preference.
Its like trying to choose between a Windows system and a Mac operating
system - if you're not relying on screenreaders of course cos Windows
obviously wins out in that example. A comparison between the Google and
Altavista search engines is probably better from illustrating the point from
a blind perspective: both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Hi Sharon
I have no interest on either side of this as i don't own either device, but
if you look at Jonathaan Mosen's blog (he now works for Humanware who make
the Braille Note) you will see a document that he wrote in response to a
Freedom scientific presentation at this year's CsUN conference, which puts
the other side of the argument, so you can make up your own mind. Visit

Many thanks.
It does sound the sort of thing I would like, and as a Jaws user too, it
shouldn't be too difficult to use.
Sharom.

Hi Sharron
Yes in my opinion its very portable and two out of the three clients I have
trained so far use it for the purpose you describe. Cheers!

Hi Graham,
Is the pactmate very portable? I do travel to meetings rather a lot, and
need something reasonably portable to take with me.
Many thanks.

Hi Sharon
I would recommend the pacmate as I feel this has a much lower learning curve
when learning how to use it than the Braille note. The pacmate runs on a
cut down version of windows and comes with pocket jaws and the voice you are
already used to and also includes pocket versions of word and excel. So as
I say if you are already used to jaws, windows and office it shouldn't take
too long to learn it. Have supplied and trained on three of these this year
and really like it as a product. The Braille note is still using
humanware's own keysoft software if I am not mistaken which wouldn't
feel or function like Microsoft products or jaws and as I say would take
Longer to learn than something that looks and feels more like windows.
Cheers!

Subject: [access-uk] Note takers
Hi,
I am currently looking at replacing my braillelite as it is getting rather
old, and not doing all I would like it to do.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a note taker. I need something
preferably with speech and a braille display, something portable, and
something I can do most functions I can do on a desktop pc, e.g. e-mail,
write documents, calendar, etc.
Any suggestions/recommendations much appreciated.
Thanks.
Sharon
