Carol, Yes, that is true. BrailleNote list teachs me better than oral-lipreading teacher! I know I am not breaking the rule of the Braillenote. I was amazing the people can understand the speech of my BrailleNote PK's speaker. it is MUCH improved technical speech. I remember 20 years ago no one can not understand the speaker. The sound was weird. It was not bother to the user because he or she was used with it.
