Hi John,
I fear you've misunderstood my point. As a blind professional, I also am
required to deal with a large number of mostly graphical application
programs on a PC with the use of a screen reader as a tool. While I'm able
to do this quite effectively, I'm delighted that in the case of the
BrailleNote family of products the "personal" in personal data assistant
means that my efficiency and productivity aren't sacrificed at the expense
of being required to navigate through a graphical user interface just to
get things done on the go.
I'll take the powerfully intuitive and efficient KeySoft interface on my
PDA any day!
Regards,
Matthew Janusauskas
