Dear Listers: In response to a recent query about a braille manual for the BrailleNote:
1) When I called Humanware Customer Service in January to purchase a printed manual for Keysoft 7, they informed me that printed copies of the User's Guide were no longer available. They did mention you could purchase a braille copy of the manual for something like $160.00. Since I wasn't interested in a braille manual, I didn't pursue it. I don't know if the customer service rep was correct about this, or if it was for an older version of Keysoft, but you may want to check this out.
2) Ask a private braille transcription service to convert the PDF version of the User's Guide into braille. I believe the National Braille Press offers a service called Jiffy Braille and it was 10 cents per braille page last I h eard a few years. It may ahve gone up. I believe if you provide them with a computer version of the document and permission to reproduce the document in braille (you'd have to get permission from Humanware), it could be printed in braille. Jiffy Braille isn't proofread so there could be occasional errors or format problems. It would also be pricey. I know the mPower User's Guide for Keysoft 7 is about 65o pages so it would be at least 1300 braille pages and possibly more.
