Walt,

The processor could be upgraded, and those who wanted more functionality could buy the new and improved bookport. This, of course, may be bad; as costs to make the unit may be high, and if not many people wanted the new unit, then of course they wouldn't pull out the money and buy it. This would be different on the other hand, if a lot of people wanted more functionality then the bookport already offers. This would, however, or might, come in handy for those who read math texts on the BP, or just like a small, light calculator, spell-checker, and at the same time be able to read books. Actually, where can I find a braille 'N speak now, anyway? Its way out-dated, anyway.

Tyler

You want a Braille 'n' Speak, buy a Braille 'n' Speak. It may not be nearly
as easy as you seem to think to introduce this functionality into an
existing device that has limited memory and hardware functionality limited
by the processor that's been chosen.

All I'd like is a spellchecker similar to that of a 1993 or 1994 braille n speak. All of what I'm asking for has already been put into the braille n speaks. Now wouldn't it be nice to to kind of combine or give the bookport braille n speak functionality?

Hi Josh and list:

I understand the need to integrate functions. A PACMate can already do all
you want. The Braille note can do most of what you want (including most of
what bookport now does). Yes, I know those units are costly. But the
bookport wouldn't be any cheaper if it did all you wished. In fact, it
would probably cost more than anything because APH is a non-profit
organisation.


Cheers,
Dave
