Hello All, I don't usually get to read all of the posts here because we do not monitor this list, but I happen to be lurking tonight. <smile> You can get to a presentation I did on the Braille Sense at http://www.gwmicro.com/Audio_Video_Archive/Presentations/. Select the "Braille Sense Demonstration" link. There have been several software updates since the demo, but it will give you a good idea of how the Braille Sense works. I think this will help answer a lot of your questions. Have a great night, everyone!

First, the similarity to the Windows interface was what struck me. Second, the fact there is a visual display (I think I remember correctly) makes it possbiel for a sighted teacher to look at student work. I'm hoping to recommend the purchase of a notetaker for a student eventually and want to get more knowledge before making a recommendation. That's why I plan to monitor this list for a while. Hopefully, some of the interaction here will help me make a final decision. Robert, I did go to Fairmont State between 1973-77. Right off hand I can't place your name. Maybe we can establish contact off list. Are you in Fort Wayne or elseware? My wife is from Fort Wayne and I've had the privilege of visiting GW Micro a couple of times over the years.

With the Braille Sense, if you go in to the word processor by pressing enter on it or press w from the main menu you are ready to start typing. If you just save the file it will by default be saved in a folder called work with a file name of noname on the flash memory. If you choose save as you can change the name and location of the file. This is pretty good for being able to start taking notes quickly. The Braille Sense by default has folders for media files, database, address, e-mail, favorites and appointments. As far as note Takers it is the most like windows as apposed to some weird interface you just have to learn. One of the things that impressed me the most was how easy and quickly you can get your work done. Hi Rick, Welcome to the list. My name is Robert Miller and I think we went to Fairmont State college at the same time. I am a distributor for Gw Micro. Also if any of you are interested, I have a dealer demo unit for sale, Asking $4,200.
