It is exactly the point I was trying to make? I don't like HW's excuse for this one--and yet unless I absolutely have to I don't want another note-taker, however, my units are past the three-year mark for service because they are transplants, although the actual transplants took place less than three years ago--another annoyance. Still, I like my BN, use it daily but wish a couple of things were better. Due to work concerns I may have to consider a change in the very near future as I have a minor problem with the unit I use at work and figure it is going to cost way more than I can afford just to try to repair it when it finally gives up on me (one flaky cell, one key that often sticks. I don't know, plunking down the full price for a new one when things I need do not work is something I am not sure I want to do. Not hearing anything useful about future upgrades does not help the situation either, I may not care for some things I hear about other products but they are upgrading and you have paths that are reasonable based on the messages I read anyway. It is breaking my heart to consider another product but, I am a working person in no position to ask for aid from my state agency--I earn more than many of those people do, so my decisions and purchase choices come out of my bank account.

I have not tried them with 2007 "docx" formatted documents, but those other note takers solved the conversion issues that the braille notes haven't.
