If you read the help file for comprehension, and take notes or mark the
places where the note-taker functions are discussed Sharon, you shouldn't
have any trouble. One of the really slick features in the BP is that you
can switch back and forth between an open file you're reading an a file in
the notes directory.
I use my BP for notes quite frequently. If you're going to do this, you
might want to think about getting a case for your BP. Executive Leather
Products has one and it helps keep the BP from rocking on its belt clip.
Remember that the first line of your new note is going to be the title it's
saved under in the notes folder, just like with some word processers if you
don't give a file name.
As far as the recording goes, I've not done a lot of it, but again, the help
file is the best place to learn to use that function.

Recording memos and taking braille notes scare the life out of me. I'm
always afraid I will completely break my Bookport if I do either of these
two things. I'd like to try them, but it seems so high risk. I'm afraid I'll
forget how to get out of the situation I'm in. Anyone have suggestions on
how to learn both of these functions? Perhaps I will need to braille the
directions before starting.

Hi:
Turn the unit so that the flash card is closest to you and the headphone
jack is to your right (90 degrees from normal operation). Then, press
Pound, C and F (which are now on the bottom row) at the same time. Before
using it for the first time, you'll want to familiarize yourself with the
Braille Keyboard Layout, which can be found in Appendix C of the manual.
From the manual:
New Note: #+C+F
To start a new note, use the New Note command. When you press the New Note
command, the device opens a new file in the \Notes folder. If there is no
\notes
folder, Book Port creates it. Once Book Port creates the new file, it
switches to the braille keyboard layout. All commands you use after using
this command
come from the braille keyboard layout until you press Escape to exit the
note.
Edit Note: 3+6+9
To edit an existing note, use the file movement commands to point to the
note, then press the Edit Note command. Once the unit opens the existing
note,
it switches to the braille keyboard layout. All commands you use after this
command come from the braile keyboard layout until you press Escape to exit
the note.
The software remembers the last position in the note file when you edit.
Inserting Text
To insert additional text into a note, use the navigation keys to move to
the place in the note where you wish to add the new information, and begin
typing.
Exit Note: Escape
When you finish with a note, press Escape to exit the note taker. The
software leaves you pointing to the current file in the notes folder. Once
you exit
the note taker, the unit switches back to the normal keyboard layout, and
you may use the normal file navigation commands to move from file to file or
to back out of the Notes folder.
See Appendix C for more on the Braille Keyboard layout.

Hello,
Would anyone please explain to me how do I enter Note Taking mode?
I'm trying to find this info in the manual right now, but I don't
understand.
Thank you,
