This is just my thinking, (no offense, iether), but I would think the braille 'N speak isn't too cheap? Or is it in the thousands. If it is, then stick with the bookport. If not, and you can afford it, buy it. It is a far cry from the new generation (pac mate, etc etc), but it will do, until, at least, the bookport's notetaking capabilities improve some. Who knows, that may be soon, if everybody keeps encouraging APH. I have never really had technical experience with them, but I'm willing to bet there as good as freedom scientific (which, by the way, are very good and helpful when it comes to kustomers).

PS: I guess I take having a Pac Mate forgranted, as I don't pay for it. But I could probably understand your case. I am in junior high (grade 9) and do a lot of writing. A note taker is cruciall in my case. I could understand it in your case. But as technology goes on, so does knolidge.

but for the unlucky, poor ones like my fiance and myself, we do use the BookPort in place of a note-taker. But that's our right and what we must do because of circumstances beyond our control. As such, some of us would like improved note-taking functionality. If we get it, great! If we don't, we're not going to throw a tantrum or something rediculous like that.

Yes, Tyler is on the money here.  The Bookport note taking function is
not meant, nor was it ever advertised as being something that would take
the place of a dedicated note taking device.  It is designed to let you
take quick notes in computer Braille when you need to.
And, it works as it was designed to do.

How would that alarm work? You'd need to wear headphones everywhere, and

that sounds rather complicated...but it could be worked around I guess.
What
is wrong with the notetaker? Its not meant to have huge notes taken; its

just for basic little memos, like phone numbers, street addresses, etc
etc.
Maybe some notes from a meeting. But, as technology goes on...

I do too. sounds like a good idea. I would also like to see the
notetaker
feature improved. I'd like perhaps for the clipboard to be a bit
larger, 
and also to see an alarm feature where you could set the time and the
bookport would sound an alarm to remind you of apointments, to wake you
up
in the mroning, etc. It wouldn't have to be a fully-fledged appointment

calendar, just a simple alarm feature. I'd also like to see a
calculator,
either basic or scientific, I don't care. That way I won't have to
carry 
around an extra talking calculator I could just use the one on the
bookport.

I like that idea a lot.
I sometimes receive email that is fairly lengthy and that consists of
technical or otherwise sensitive material.  This would be a great
help.

That is certainly something we can take a look at, and it is a great
idea.

Hello listers and APH,
I am wondering if it would be possible to implament a send to Book
Port 

option to the file menu for sending emails directly to the BP.

I think this would be a great addition to the Book Port Transfer
software.

Thanks

Scott
