Hello everyone, sorry for the cross-post but I am in need of your
assistance.
Does anyone have any experience with the Voice Mate or any other
electronic organizer, or any other means of organizing appointments,
scheduling, to-do lists, rolodexes, and other such things? Presently my job
requires me to track problems, phone calls, appointments, meetings, etc.
The stack of Braille papers on my desk and my pc based contact manager are
just not working for me. I find that I end up trying to mentally remember
all the things I need to do and trying to prioritize them because I spend so
much time on the phone taking incoming calls as I'm required to do to meet
my call quota.
I do have a Braille'N Speak 2000 but after using it for several months
I've discovered it's a wonderful note taker and timer but I need more then
it can provide. I need to set alarms for reminders and appointments, I need
something that is intuitive and that can easily find, store, and delete
these messages. It would also help if I could hook my pc to it for
scheduling as my sighted friend does with his Palm Pilot.
If anyone has any thoughts on this, either technical solutions, or low
tech solutions to this problem, I would appreciate your comments. I've
tried Outlook Express and Goldmine software, but in addition to the pc based
information manager, I need something I can bring with me at all times to
function as a planner. The Braille desk calendar I used for a time solves
part of the problem, but I always ran out of room with the things I had to
do and of course there was no alarm function with this.<smile>
The Voice Mate has a pc link, maybe this would provide what I'm looking
for.
Thanks for your input.
