Dear Sarah, The speaker on the VoiceNote is bigger than the BrailleNote, making the speech even better.

Although the 2 units are very firmly attached it would still make me a little nervous to carry one around the way I can with my BNQT32. Also, the models of other notetakers with the qwerty keyboard are even larger! : : The VoiceNote is definitely smaller than the BrailleNote; there is no display on the front. Other than this, the two units are virtually identical. : : All BrailleNotes come with KeyNote speech. When the Braille display on my BN died, I would jokingly call it "a VoiceNote with a growth on the front." It works fine as a notetaker with only speech, but it is wonderful to have the Braille back! : : Sarah : -----Original Message----- : From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Don Bishop : Sent: Monday, May 24, 2004 10:49 PM : To: Braillenote List : Subject: Re: [Braillenote] detachable braille display : : : I'm quite happy with the present configuration of the braillenote thank you very much! It's true that other note takers have detachable displays, but that's partly : because they came out with a voice-only notetaker and added the braile later. I haven't seen any of these units, so really can't say for sure about their : construction, but I do know that my braillenote is solidly built and I don't have to worry about parts of it becomming detached from each other. : : I've never seen a voicenote so don't know if it is smaller or the same size as a braillenote, nor whether it can be configured for braille as the 18 and 32-cell bn : units can be. In otherwords, if you buy a bn-18 you can have that display replaced with a 32-cell display and still retain the original unit. : : Since I bought my braillenote for the braille display, the only thing I might possibly be interested in would be a detachable speech module, <grin>, but that's : highly unlikely. : : Bottom line "if it ain't broke don't fix it!" : : Don : : : : : : : ___ : To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit : http://list.pulsedata.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.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote : :
