I also prefer the qt but I think I type faster witht eh qt then I
do on the braille and when I had a chance to llok at both I like
the style of the qt better. I learned how to use some function
on the bn bt first though. I had a braille N. speak for a few
years but have always like typing better if I had to choose.
Both are nice though and I was surprised to realize I could use
braille typing by creating a braille document. The f,d,s,j,k,l.
keys turn into the braille style keyboard. It really boils down
to what is the best option for you if you can look at them do
that.

Your theory isn't true for me. I learned the brailler first, and
I do
prefer it to the slate, but I prefer to use a QT keyboard. Why?
Because I
like the QT commands better. I never liked holding down the
space bar and
pressing another key at the same time. I also prefer text to
braille
translation instead of braille to text because errors can crop up
in back
translation. I am also comfortable using 6-key entry because I
must write
in braille when I'm writing music so I have the best of both
worlds using
the QT.

: Hi Sarah and Others;
: I did not even notice the qt in the title line. I put the part
about bt
: preference because I learned to write Braille before I learned
to type.
: Almost always, a person is best at what he learns first. That
is why I
: am best at the brailler verses the slate and better at the
brailler than

: Hi Terry,
:
: I'm curious about your statement, "That is why I love the BT
over the
: QT." Were you still talking about length of Braille display
line? The
: QT, as well as the BT, comes in both 18 and 32 cell flavors.
The rest

versus the

: I think of a 32 cell display as about half a line. How can you
read

imagine using

: Hi Jenny and All,
:
: I am fortunate enough to be working and have both an mPower 32
cell BT
: model, as well as a BNPK with the 18 cell display. And,
although I do
: use
: both, for portability purposes, I find myself mostly using my
PK when

on the
: bus,
: and the lighter weight makes it much easier to be carried
around.
:
: Now, I know you weren't asking about the PK, but an mPower QT
model.
: But,
: my point here is that, in my opinion, as well as that of
others, guess
: it
: kind of comes down to your budget and personal preference and
maybe just
: what you get used to using. I have no problems using my 18
cell unit;
: and,
: in fact, when I do go back to using my mPower from time to
time, then I
: kind
: of have to take a few minutes and adjust back to using the
larger
: display.
: And, grin, had I started using the mPower before the PK, who
knows what
: my
: thoughts may have been, although I really do love the
portability of the
: PK.
:
: Good luck with your choice. I know I really do enjoy having
both of my
: units.

: I personally have a BrailleNote mPower BT with 18 cell display.
If you

to read

advantage that

18 cell
