Dear BrailleNote ListServ, I have notice that while I was in Napa a few days ago for the Way Fun event that I notice that a lot of the units having some odd behavior.
The first of the odd behavior began when I notice my unit sstuttering. I realize that there has been some problems with the mPowers and eloquence, so I switched to KeyNote gold to see if that would resolve something, which lead to no avail. I tried multiple things while I was in the Napa area, some of them including a simple reset and a hard reset, which yet again lead to no avail. I have also notice this happening with many of the other mPowers and a few of the PK's. The units were also llocking up, forcing the user to perform a reset. The PK users were also noticing stuttering in the voice, and it could of not been eloquence, as there is not an option for eloquence on the PK. Here is the part that I found even more odd. As soon as we ggot out of the Napa area, after being there for two days, all of the odd behavior dealing with units locking up and stuttering in the speech syntesizer were gone. The only difference that I can find in comparing Napa and San Francisco is altitude and being surrounded by tree vs. being surrounded by tall buildings, these aare all physical differences, which I do not believe affects the BrailleNotes. The next thing that I have found has occurred every so often, not on a regular basis though. This mainly happens when I am doing an address search, and sometimes in other searches where a search string is necessary. I have notice that in entering a search string into the address search every so often, the speech will turn from my traditional rate, which is 13 to 16, then I will have to lower the rate then raise it again, to get it back to the normal rate. I have notice this on a unit that was running 3.3, which is now running 3.5, on KeySoft 7.0. I have also tried the same thing on a unit that is running KeySoft 7.01 with 3.5, again the same sparatic voice changing is occuring. It is not a really big deal to raise the rate then to lower it again, but I just thought that I would point this I hope that someone is able to give me some sort of answer to what is occuring.
