Hello. One of the reasons that you get more storage with the Voice Sense is
because it's newer and since hardware is cheaper and smaller, it was easier to
get 1gb of storage. this is not new in the way that machines are made. Too
often the newer ones are smaller, faster, and have more capacity. Now with that
being said, please rest assured that the Braille Sense has not been forgotten.
I don't know when the next firmware update will be, but we have taken down all
user suggestions, including formating capabilities like you suggest. I'll also
pass along the web archive suggestion. Just so you know, the Braille Sense has
some things that the Voice Sense does not. Other than the obvious of having a
built-in 32 cell Braille display, one of the other things is that the Braille
Sense has 2 cf card slots whereas the Voice Sense only has one. Considering how
cheap cf cards are now-a-days, it's real easy to have several cf cards for
different types of data one may use.
As a last note, we do have a note taker mailing list where topics such as the
Braille Sense and Voice Sense are discussed.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone know when the next software update is coming out?
Also, why can't we users of the Braille Sense have as much user storage as
is available on his little brother, the Voice Sense. It just doesn't seem fair
that we pay more for a Braille display and then get less storage capacity?
Could you maybe do something about that?
Also, the word Processor needs to be enhanced, in that there needs to be
the ability to bold, center, underline, etc. and you need to be able to delete
control and graphic symbols, such as CRLF (carriage returns and linefeeds),
alt 145, alt 146, alt 147, alt 148 and alt 151. Maybe you could make it so you
could press dots 3-5 chord (i-n) and that would make an alt press, and then you
could put the ASCII number of the graphic symbol you are trying to delete after
the dots 3-5 chord press.
In other words, let's say you wanted to delete ASCII symbols 147 and 148,
which are usually substituted for quotation marks, and you wanted to replace
them with quote marks. Well, you would press the 3-5 chord, write 147, tab over
to replace with, and write dot 5 for quote, tab over to replace all and
confirm, and voila, there you are.
Of course, you'd need to have an entry in the options menu that says, "turn
ASCII values on y/n?"
Also, web pages need to load much faster!
In addition, could you fix the Braille sense so it can recognize MHT or web
archive files and automatically open them with the web browser?
those are just a few suggestions. If I think of anymore, I'll let you know.
But all in all, it is a very fine product, and I'm glad I have one. I'll
keep looking forward to improvements that are doubtless coming in the future.
Regards,
Clyde Stout
