Andrew,
I would suggest listening to Alex Hall's podcast series on the
BrailleNote and iOS devices, which can be found at
braillenoteusers.info/media.

Subject: pairing the iphone via bluetooth with the brailleNote
Hi all,
Just wondering what you have to do on the brailleNote to pair the
Iphone via
Bluetooth? Do I use activesync? The only two services offered are
printer
and activesync.

Chris, You should foreword this straight to hw. I totally agree
with
everything you have said. Especially for me. Since I can not
use a pc and
the only computer I have is my bn it would be nice to be able to
do more
with it. I also don't know why on the eMpower you could record
the radio and
on the apex you can't. To me that is a downgrade not an upgrade.
I would
love it if they brought that back for the apex.

Subject: [Braillenote] voice recognition and a word to Humanware
JD,
That is very interesting! I personally would find a voice
recognition
software useful! Those of you who have heard of or used J-Say or
Dragon
Naturally Speaking will know what I'm talking about. But if we
get a voice
recognition feature on the BrailleNote, why not support voice
chatting
applications such as Skype and TeamTalk?
If any Humanware staff member reads this, I have one piece of
advice for
you to take back to your company: whenever you next release a
Keysoft
version, you would do well to consider some major feature
upgrades (you
might want to look at the archives of this list for suggestions
of new
features and discuss them with your engineering team, so you know
what your
customers really
want) and do it fast before HIMS and the BrailleSense line of
notetakers
totally blow the BrailleNote out of the water. I love my
BrailleNote Apex,
and it is instrumental to my success in school and in connecting
with my
friends in this technologically-driven world in which we live.
However, I
can only speak for myself, but I think a lot of users on this
list would
agree with me in my opinion that the BrailleNote family of
products has
great potential which hasn't been unlocked yet because Humanware
won't allow
it to be unlocked. They won't add new features that we have
requested; they
don't monitor this list for suggestions, at least not that we
know of,
although they say they do; they still run their BrailleNotes on
an operating
system (Windows CE) which is very old and is no longer supported
by
Microsoft, as well as Internet Explorer 6 as an underlying
browser for
KeyWeb; and most important of my complaints, they haven't
released a
Software Development Kit (SDK) so that programmers outside of the
Humanware
engineering team can write programs for the BrailleNote. If an
SDK is
released, Humanware won't have to do all the work; I believe that
users and
programmers such as Joseph Lee, Alex Hall, Marvin Vasquez, and
Tyler Z, if
given the opportunity, could write programs which would add many
more
features to the BrailleNote. Please Humanware; make your product
a truly
competitive one! Unleash the full potential of the BrailleNote!!
I'm sorry if any of you think this sounds harsh, but I think it
needs to be
said! If we want new features and a better BrailleNote
experience, we need
to speak up and keep speaking up with Humanware.

Subject: [Braillenote] Speech Recognision
No, the BrailleNotes do not have a voice recognition application.
I do believe that it would be a most welcome addition. It would
steem that
the Apex line might be able to support this.
As I said, interesting.
