Hi Sharon and Scot; My theory even is true with the Braille writer and the slate. I was tought the brailler first and I am horrible with a slate because I have to turn every letter around in my mind before writing it. Scot; Since a BN is the same size whether it has an 18 or 32 cell display, I would think you should be able to change the display. Give HW a call and check out the price. You might be better off to save up and just get a 32 cell M-power. I know it is expensive, but you need to look at the future of upgrades for the bN, only one, and the future of the M-power, many. The M-power will give you a lot more memory, recording ability, dazy, games and who knows what else is to come. I sure am glad I got my transplant when I did. Before you make your move, I would talk it out with friends and maybe HW. Good luck on your choice.

Well I didn't start learning Braille until I was in year ten because they didn't think I would be able to do it but at that stage I didn't have any other choice. I have really bad arthritis in my fingers so they thought that would effect my reading ability but when I started I flew through it. So maybe your right Terry because I learnt touch typing in year four but didn't start typing Braille until year eleven. >From Shaz. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 11:09 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] BrailleNote or VoiceNote? Here is a good compairison. I learned Braille in second grade and what ever you learn first usually is what you are best at. Sheron is better at typing and I feal I am better at brailling, especially since the qt is a smaller keyboard than a regular typewriter.

Hi, I've had a hands on demonstration of the MPower in July and loved it. I think I would go for a QT because I can type quicker on that and when I'm away from home I normally would have to deal with allot of emails so I think it would be easier on a QT. Also I help teach Braille and I use the Braille note as my cheat sheet. When someone asks me a sign and I'm not sure about it I type it into the Braille note and then use the display to show me what it is in Braille and I couldn't do this if I used a BT. After reading all about the MPower on this list I really want it but I have to save up the money and convince my parents that it is worth the money and since I only just got a new PK I don't think it will be happening to soon. However I do have a job interview this week and depends on how that goes, I maybe able to justify it if I get the job because part of the job is taking minutes for meetings. I will be able to do this with the PK and tape recorder but it could be allot quicker on the QT keyboard. Well that's enough from me for now, >From Shaz and lick from Lena. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Erichsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 10:39 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] BrailleNote or VoiceNote? Gotta love the BrailleNote mPower BT! I love mine. I should use it for email, but the amount I get I'm not sure it would handel it. I get around 100 messages a day. But I had a classic BT, then sold it, went to the opposition product, PacMate for about 6 months and returned to an mPower BT! It's great. I've seen the QT and which ever one you get you will like it I'm sure.

Hi, I started off with a voice note and when my Braille reading skills got better I brought a second hand Braille note with a QT keyboard. Now I have sold my voice note and brought myself a PK. So now I am improving my Braille typing skills. I love my PK because of how light it is and the daisy book player which because my Braille note is a classic it doesn't have this. I still have my Braille note as a backup and if I am going away from home and need something I can connect to the internet easily with I have it. Well that's my history of how I came to have the machine I do have. And when I get a job and can save the money I will look into transplanting my Classic to an MPower. >From Shaz. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vicky Collins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 10:15 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] BrailleNote or VoiceNote? Hi Rob, and welcome to the list. Well, personally, I opted for the BrailleNote. There is certainly nothing wrong with the VoiceNote, but I do like having both the speech and Braille options made available to me. The Braille especially comes in handy for crowded places where one doesn't have to try to hear the speech, or for those meetings when one suddenly realizes they need to take some quick notes as it saves having to dig out the headphones and all. I do also have a VoiceNote that work purchased for me; and, if I need to write down customer info, I do/and believe I'm actually supposed to use that unit. But, otherwise, as it seems much less awkward in meetings and the like for me, I use my own BrailleNote.

I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Rob and I've become quite interested in the BrailleNote. Anyway, on to business. Which unit do you have, a VoiceNote or BrailleNote, and why did you choose this? I like the VoiceNote for it's price point. ________________________________________________________________________ ____ ________ Yahoo!
