I’d be interested in knowing how people find the Braille input on the touch
screen? How frequently do you have to recalibrate by placing your fingers? How
often do you get the long vibration indicating that Braille is not going in? Do
you sometimes find Braille commands being mis-interpreted as dots? Any
thoughts?

I am still evaluating mine, but I really do have some doubts to be honest. I
have heard people having SD cards replaced, the Apex keyboard not working,
and general instability and battery issues. I don't think some of this is
purely software-related, so it really is concerning. My battery was at 90
percent last night when I turned in at about 10 pm, and it was dead to the
world this morning when I looked at it at around 6.40. That's ridiculous to
be honest!
There are a lot of positives, but I am leaning towards leaving it for a while
to see how it progresses. I appreciate it is a new unit and at the start of
its journey, but that doesn't account for some of the problems it seems to be
having, and these are only the ones we know about.
Just my thoughts, I do want to keep it, and I also want it to work, but I
have reservations at this moment in time.

Hi there Janet and John,
You'll find me there, with others.
To subscribe go try the usual message and send to
braillenote-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
It worked for me and I eventually heard from the moderator. I can let
you have his details if you don't hear for a while.
There's one slight difference to this list and that is that the Reply-To
field sends to us direct, so effectively the others don't see any reply.
This in turn means you're totally reliant on someone to answer your
message, or make a comment, but I realise it does keep the traffic down.
John, how are you getting on now with your BN? Janet, did you get one in
the end?
Mike and I deliberated for quite a while but took the plunge in the end
as it was time to decide and gain ｣999 for our older BrailleNote Apex,
or just lose that amount and maybe get one later ...
It does show some promise but only time will tell if they'll really work
on a number of things that I would like to see sorted in one way or another.
Hope this might be helpful!

Please can someone tell me if there is a mailing list for braille note
touch users? Thanks a lot Janet
