Would you please explain that in plain english for us non technical persons! How would you get Bluetooth to work instead of a serial connection for the braille display and speech synthesizer?

As others have mentioned, an option that is available and that works well is the use of an inexpensive USB to bluetooth adaptor for the PC. This allows for the use of the BrailleNote as a wireless braille display for the screen reader being used. Regards, Matthew Janusauskas HumanWare USA, Inc. 656 N.

I'd posted a question to them about why I couldn't use my Braille Note as a refreshable braille display or external synth when connected via usb. Aaron Smith explained that Window Eyes already supports this, but Humanware hasn't yet included such support on the Braille Note. Since I'd filled out the feedback form on Humanware's site and mentioned this oddity even prior to contacting Gw Micro, I thanked Aaron for his prompt response and assured him that I'd follow up with Humanware on this, since I'm certain there's others out there wanting this as an option. As I indicated on Humanware's feedback form and to Gw Micro, this is of particular concern to me, since most of the computer manufacturers these days already are phasing out serial ports on their new machines, including an Emachine I purchased last year (I installed a pci card to add 2 serial ports, but the problem's only going to get worse as most employers and schools aren't going to do this on their new units). Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.
