Kathy, The software is very similar for both units, if not the same. BN and VN users can use the same upgrades and the units have the same command structure. The only difference is, of course, those commands that deal with the Braille display, which are specific to the BN, including those for thumb keys. These are part of the Braille display. (I can see why someone would get confused by the thumb key option on the VN, since it's not necessary.) I have read, over and over on this list, how people think a BN won't do something a VN will do, and vice versa, and nothing is further from the truth. Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong here, but there isn't anything a VoiceNote can do that a BrailleNote can't do, providing they are running the same version of Keysoft and have the same hardware. They are pretty much the exact same animal, only one has a Braille display and one does not.
I hope this clears things up a little. Smile.
