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.
Sharon

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!
Graham

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
