Hi penny, I suspect your best bet would actually be to drive a Powerpoint presentation on a PC. You could use your BrailleNote to do this, using either Window-eyes or JAWS for Windows and controlling it from your BrailleNote. The nice thing about this is that you can use Bluetooth, so you could freely move about the classroom and control the Powerpoint Presentation, checking the content of the slides on the Braille display. But yes you could also use Hyperterminal on a PC to have whatever is on your BrailleNote come up on a PC screen. Jonathan Mosen BrailleNote Product Marketing Manager HumanWare

What will I need besides the m-power bt and a screen? Will this have to go through a regular PC? If so, can I just eliminate the use of the mpower and enter the text to be shown to my students directly on the screen? If this takes my query out of the BN list-topics, could someone just email me privately? I'm going into a classroom and want, perhaps, to put stuff up for kids to see. I have an mpower, but could have a PC just as easily. Please advise. There are advantages to using the BN. I have it already, for starters. Just tell me what extra stuff I need to make my giving kids a print message practicable.
