Hi Jackie.

2GB of memory is perfectly respectable, it's enough to work with comfortably, providing you're using flash based storage. My Click Mini has 2GB of memory and I can comfortably run JAWS and NVDA on it, with extra voices installed. If this note taker has a hard disk instead of flash memory, well then that might be a different story.

All the best, Ibrahim.

But given screenreaders are resource hungry, how will 2gb of RAM be nearly
enough?

Hi,

Bluetooth 3.0, not 4.0 unfortunately, 2GB of RAM and 320GB of storage, plus
an SD card slot. Also three USB ports.

All the best

Hi Steve

If the EsyTime has 2gb of RAM, how does that cope when being used with your
own screenreader? And what is the storage capacity on it? Does it support
Bluetooth as well?

Kind Regards,

Hi,

It does have specialised apps if you want them, but you don't have to. And
also you are really paying for the 32 cells. And, if I'm honest, it's very
nice Braille on all their displays.

All the best

Hello,
Yes, I understand. But on the other hand, this requires less designing,
considering it hasn't got specialised apps.

Hi,

Bear in mind though that it is priced similarly to these Note Takers
which have limited functionality.

All the best

Hello Steve,
Can you do the same with me, too? Unfortunately, its waaaaaay more
beyond what I'm willing to pay, I'm still interested, as this could be
good for people like myself, who have troubles using a QT keyboard.
