Re: MKSpeech: Open source, Low cost notetaker
Well, Blindndangerous, keep in mind that our situation is not the same as some others. We as tech-savy computer users may be just fine using Linux, which I might as well point out that this system will be using Linux, so completely open source. But some folks can't use a computer, or their vision teachers don't know how to use a computer, or they're comfortable with a braille keyboard. More than anything, a consistent interface may be what they're looking for, a device with a fast startup time, no need to worry about antivirus loading, etc. This is why while we certainly need to get the notetakers as mainstream as possible, the notetaker idea has not completely died off yet. Besides, there's always the problem of braille translation. If a teacher wishes to emboss, the student would have to use the braille translation software, and they may have trouble working that software when a notetaker does it behind the scenes. Perhaps not *this* notetaker, but every other notetaker with a braille display.
