Jonathan, unless I'm missed something, I see that BrailleNote users will have an advantage. There are many people with the Qwerty, and no Braille display. I haven't seen much addressed regarding them. Those with the Braille display can send their unit in. As I stated, I'm not seeing much help for those with the VoiceNote. Thanks for your response.
