Hi Daveed:
I joined this list almost a year ago, only to discover that no
one is really on it. There is a GW Micro List, and I know they
could answer you. I didn't purchase a Braille Sense, because I
was waiting for answers. If you'd like, I will try to figure out
which list it is you need.
I have since purchased another product, so I don't know any of
the information you asked about.
Warm Regards,
Rhonda Clark,
Illinois

Subject: [braille-sense] Automatic Braille Grade Two Translation,
FileImporting/Exporting, and Estimated Battery Life
I have a few questions re the Braille Sense, which I am planning
to
buy very soon.
1. In some notetakers, one has to make it clear that one is
typing
in Grade Two braille. Otherwise, when typing on the keyboard,
you
get jibberish ASCII braille! Is this the case also with the
Braille
Sense? The manual talks about grade two braille output on the
display, but it does not mention inputting Grade Two. What if
there
is a sign or symbol you don't want translated to Grade Two,
because
it wouldn't make sense? Can one deal with such situations?
2. I must produce radio scripts of news stories and
documentaries
and then turn them over to sighted colleagues. At other times,
sighted colleagues do the same to me--that is, they send me their
material to edit, and I must then send it back to them. I
understand
that while MS Word documents can be read on the Braile Sense, one
cannot save braille files as MS Word documents. I also
understand
that RTF files can neither be imported nor exported. I consider
these rather serious shortcomings when interacting with sighted
people. My colleagues vastly prefer Word files, or RTF files as
well, over .txt files.
3. One more query: How long does the battery last per charge,
approximately, when only using the braille display--without
speech or
the visual display? Thanks.
I would very much appreciate clarification of the above two
questions. Thanks so much.
