Hi Leslie and All, Well, let's see if I can explain this. The phone itself is only speech. Actually, the phone doesn't come with speech, but one can purchase software such as Talks or MobileSpeak to make the phone talk. Then, by using the speech of the phone, or maybe memorizing the prompts to do so, one can hook the phone up to the PK so it will act as a modem. Then, once this is done, it acts like any other modem. I mean, one can connect to their ISP, then the email or info from a web site can either be heard with speech or read on the Braille display. ----- Original Message ----- From: "lesliepeterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 3:51 AM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] BrailleNote and Cell phones
Vicky, Good deal! I should have it now. Question: Can your PK Braille read the data messages? Question: Can your PK access email and internet? Surely, I need to know it.
