If an individual already has a Braillenote and a Laptop, I have to be fairly straight-forward here. Unless either of the devices are not functioning as they should, I certainly would be hard pressed as a rehabilitation professional to justify buying a transplant. However, if the individual in question required the ability to manipulate large files, that might be a good reason for the mPower. And I will tell you this, were that individual interacting with me, they would never get an mPower unless they could demonstrate the ability to take notes without assistance. I know, that's hard, but in my opinion, when someone is taking notes for you, you are not doing some essential required thinking. I always encourage thinking when I can, (unless it's me that has to do it smile)

If you have a BrailleNote, then you already have a notetaker with a braille display. So you should be able to take notes. Just turn the speech off. But if you have a VoiceNote, then there is no braille display. You should also be able to transfer your KeyWord files onto a CF card and use it to transfer data from your CF card. I don't blame you for wanting an Mpower. Why not say you want an Mpower transplant? They are much less expensive than buying a new unit. But if you have a VoiceNote, that won't work. In the meantime, you can use your BN a lot more than you are doing. If you have a good resource teacher, he or she could fight on your behalf. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
