Hi Ian,
Well, when I had a demo and was slightly nervous I thought I'd have to
recalibrate each time I took my hands off. Well, I don't recalibrate
very much and will see how far I can take my hands off and then put them
straight back on. I guess, in a way, you do recalibrate when you put
them on again because you do have to place all fingers, as you probably
know, but if you get the calibration right then that's probably why,
after a while, you don't really notice with sounds in the background as
you're writing.
I was pleasantly surprised, when I was here at home without being
supervised just how speedy I managed in the first session.
I hope this is helpful. Do ask more questions if you think I haven't
given enough detail here.

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.
Kind regards,

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!
