Hi, David and list. Given that the note taking feature was added for the
purpose of small notes, such as phone numbers, addresses, and short memos, I
think it is ok the way it is. I personally the BP is too small and the note
taking feature too awkward for someone to use it as a full-fledged note
taker. There are more effective devices that is designed specifically for
note taking. I have played around with the note taking feature, and it's
not hard for me to write in computer braille at all.
