Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch
Sorry for bringing this topic back, but here comes my list of Polaris issues. I've never used the Touch, but I've used the Apex sometimes and I think it's much better than the Polaris. The U 2, which came before the Polaris, was great. It never deleted any documents, and the Polaris deleted a lot.
Open Notepad on the Polaris, and paste this part of a book that I'm working on in:
Sparky: incorrect, you said we're playing Football Americano. Author: Football and Football Americano are the same game. Sparky: I pray to Jeremy Nasuti, that you'll stop messing with the original Football. Author: Sparky, you can't pray to him and have the prayers work because you're not a Nasutist and have never been one. Sparky: I just found diamonds, and it felt so good, Author: no! Minecraft! Aloud! During! Football! Sparky: oh, you don't like Minecraft? Author: since Trevor Pine likes Minecraft, I hate it. Also, I've never liked Minecraft anyway so that's that. Sparky, go get the ball.
Now, add something to it and save the document. You'll notice that now, the document contains less text than it had before and it's randomly chosen what gets deleted. If you write 2 words, you lose 5 words. If you write 4 words, you lose 13 words and so on.
That's how the book went from 15 chapters down to half a chapter. If this Polaris didn't belong to Perkins, it would either be on Amazon for 2 pennies or broken. The battery issue mentioned in post 1 is also there, but worse. If it's at 100 percent and you don't use it for 1 day, and goes down to "no battery". Yes, it thinks the battery just isn't in the machine.
And the last and worst things, no Eloquence and no Pronunciation Dictionary! Eloquence is just a want, but the Pronunciation dictionary is something I need for reasons I'm not posting here. All I'm saying is that the entries have to do with people, numbers, trust and names to remember. Even the Braille Sense Classic had a Pronunciation Dictionary! I already talked to my MCB person, and he said that I can buy that Braille Note Touch for after Perkins.
