Hi,
From my perspective, AccessNote is absolutely worth the money. I
got it a few hours ago and am thrilled. Yes, it needs more
features, such as find and replace, the ability to move by
paragraph with a braille display, and the ability to handle more
file types. But it does quite a few things that no other notetaking
app I've tried does, and it does them well.
One is that when I do a search, I am taken right to the spot where
the search item is. This sort of works in Pages if I'm using a
braille display, but really doesn't work well for me when I'm not.
I've wanted to be able to search my documents for years, and I love
being able to do it consistently.
Another benefit is that unlike Pages, wherever I am is in edit mode.
With Pages, I have been frustrated on many occasions by reading
along and wanting to change something, double-tapping, and finding
the insertion point is somewhere else entirely, so I have to find my
place again. This isn't happening with accessNote, at least so far.
AccessNote saves my place in a file. If I'm reading with a braille
display, I need to double-tap to be sure the correct location is
saved, and I need to back out of the file before removing the app
from the App switcher, but if I do those things, it works
consistently. Moreover, when I open the app, the line I was reading
appears on the display, rather than my needing to tap somewhere to
get focus to the right place. This isn't a big deal, but it's a nice
change from other apps.
Finally, it's a way to read braille files without a lot of
processing, and the files appear using the formatting with which
they were written. Since most braille files have a lot of extra dot
7s in them, I would still want to change the case of the whole file
to lower case first to get rid of them. But if the files don't have
them or if you don't care about eliminating them, all you have to do
is add a txt extension, and they appear in beautifully formatted braille.
Is $20 a lot to spend for a notetaking app? Absolutely. But since
this does so many things that no other app I've used does, I'm glad
I bought it.
The other notetaking apps I've used are Pages, which has the
problems I mentioned, Notes, which is great for short things but
would be a pain for longer ones because it has no search ability,
and very briefly Elements, which has no search facility, Notesy,
which wouldn't open the text files I wanted to work with because I
guess they were too long, and Write 2, which wouldn't speak any of
my search results. There certainly might be apps I've missed that
have AccessNote's features, but I've tried quite a few and haven't
found those features anywhere else.
I hope that helps.
Best,
Anna
