APH,
How long of a search string can one enter into the search field using =
Braille entry now? What I am getting at is that for all intents and =
purposes, we may have the memo field already; we just can't have more =
than one at a time.

I hear you, Angie, especially about the vet's office and other noisy =3D
areas.--Grin! Since audio memo recording is already available, I see no =
=3D
reason it would be taken away from those who use it. An alternative to =
=3D
having both features incorporated at the same time would be to have a =
=3D
setting which allowed one to record either in Braille or audibly. =3D
However, since a lot of the coding has already been done for Braille =3D
input, I wonder how complicated it would actually be to record Braille =
=3D
memos.

Thanks, Sara! This is how I feel about braille input. It's serendipitous =

that the Bookport has keys that can be arranged in the braille shape. =
=3D
Why shouldn't we=3D20
take advantage of that? I'm not saying this should become the primary =
=3D
function of the machine, but I'd love to see that functionality =3D
expanded. This would also=3D20
help when you have to take down numbers in vary noisy situations, like a =

vet's office. <grin>
