Hi Keith, when we release KeySoft 7.2, we are anticipating offering support for a compact flash VGA card. This means you will be able to connect a standard PC monitor to your BrailleNote mPower.
Right now though, you could use the Palm Tungsten E2 with our Palm Visual Display software. Right now though, there is no easy way to switch between which BrailleNote you monitor, unless you were to buy a Palm for each user.

Nine of my students are using notetakers. Right now, I need to have my sighted instructional assistants monitor what students are doing in the general ed class using a PDA, desktop, or notebook computer. They are sighted and do not need braille or speech access. I am interested in learning how to do what you mention below for myself, but if there is something simpler for someone who is sighted, I am interested in learning about it. Am I able to use blue tooth or connect a CF card that plugs into a standard computer monitor for viewing? I believe there is something called a Voyager Card that may allow this to happen, but it was a long time ago that I heard about it and it may be for another notetaker. But wireless access is the way I would like to go. I have upto three students in a class using Braille Notes and I need to be able to switch between viewing each students' work. Hopefully your recommendations will allow me to switch between Braille Note users easily. Thank you for your assistance in advance.

If that's not the case, then I have some other suggestions. Assuming that it is the case then, your best bet would be to use the BrailleNote Visual Display feature in conjunction with Hyperterminal on a PC. That PC can of course be a laptop. The BrailleNote can use Bluetooth for the Visual Display feature, and if you set up a Bluetooth serial port that Hyperterminal can use on the laptop, then you can be some distance away from the student and still monitor what they are doing. Hope this helps. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
