Terry, for your information, I am hearing impaired myself and wear hearing aids, so I don't need to be told about the issues we confront. That doesn't change the fact that everything in the tutorial is made available in text, in tutorial style already. Jonathan Mosen BrailleNote Product Marketing Manager HumanWare

A text version of a tutorial would be just like a deaf blind person sitting in on a live demo of the unit, with an inturpretor. With the text version, the computer or Braille note is the enturpretor. I have a hearing problem myself and have a great interest in this subject. Put yourself in our shoes and put on a set of ear plugs and try to learn some new feature. It is almost like not being able to watch a movie because of lack of captioning.

I realize, Jonathan, what you are saying -- a person can access the User's Guide to find out about a product. However, a tutorial determines whether a person can afford, or can use the upcoming upgrade. If a person hasn't upgraded yet, there is no way of accessing the Users Guide to read what is there. With an Audio Tutorial, any hearing person can access it, to decide whether or not the upgrade will work for them. My two cents, can I have change please? <smile>. ___ 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 ___ 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
