Hi Jonathan and list; The only problem I have with the bn and this is for both the braille and speech is that in some cases, such as when downloading from the web, you don't get any indication that it is downloading. I notice this on Bookshare, where, when I download a book, I am asked for the filename and when I press enter to use the original filename, the bn sits at the filename prompt while the download continues. Sometimes my unit takes quite a long time before it starts to beep and for a deaf-blind person, he or she might think the bn is locked up because the filename prompt doesn't change. Perhaps it would be better if, when enter was pressed after selecting the filename, we would get, both in speech and in braille the "Please wait." prompt and maybe the percentage of the download. This doesn't happen with all download sites I think, but I'm not sure.
thanks for all the help you give on this list Richard > ----- Original Message ----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Braillenote List <[email protected] >Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 12:14:02 -0600 >Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Beep vs Vibrating >Hello Leslie, we try very hard to make sure that a user who only uses >Braille does not miss out on any information.
