Keep in mind that daisy isn't a speech only thing. So the addition to daisy to the braille note could benefit anyone who wishes to read a book in the dasy format.

I wasn't referring to the voice synthesizer feature. What I'm saying is, It stands to reason, that if you keep incorporating stuff related to FM radio, daisy reader, recorder, it WILL cost more for everyone and could change the physical advantages. I can appreciate the value of the Eloquence feature. For those of us who are deaf-blind, the Braillenote is a very special device. I am concerned that, if the emhphasis on upgrades is concentrated on audio features (e.g., more radio, daisy, etc.) we will loose the quality of braille (with voice synthsizer) that has been the foundation of the Braillenote since it was developed. This device is companct and lightweight. True, Freedom scientific has the Pac Mate. However, I've tried it and prefer the Braillenote for its size, weight and ease of operation. I hope this is more clearly stated. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
