Jenny; A lot of the time, I read by using speech. A 32 cell will display a larger amount of what is being read. When using speech, you have to use the space bar and dot 4 to go forward or dot 1 to go back a line. You can also put it in continuous reading mode. Is there a senter near you that demos equipment for the blind. There is one here in Baltimore at the National Federation of the Blind. Most likely your best bet would be to get a hands on demo. My computer teacher had a Braille Note BT and when she showed it to me, I fell in love with it. Before that, I had always wanted a voice Note. One of the things I like a lot is that there is almost always 2 ways to do something. You can perform the item by way of menus or memorize commands. If you belong to a NFB chapter, you might find some users in your chapter that would be willing to demo their units for you. Good luck.

It is equally as fast to use an 18 cell as a 32. Your thumb is next to the thumb keys at all times, and can be advanced very quickly. It really depends on preference. If you are buying your own unit, a 32 cell is much more expensive. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Powers, Terry \(NIH/OD/DEAS\) [E]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected] >Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2006 10:15:36 -0400 >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] braillenote mpower q t >Hi Jenny; >My preference would be a 32 cell, any day.
