The BrailleNote doesn't create Word documents, even wit the export feature.
These documents are actually rich text format.

Hi Donald
There is always the export function in the BrailleNote which allows you to
convert the document to Word format before you transfer it onto the PC.
Why
create another program to install on your computer when the BrailleNote
can
do it already?
Cheers
Kylie

As I see it you will have major problems with MS Word Files. We are way
behind in that area. Also the feature that would be helpful is a utility
that can convert your files from keysoft to MS Word after you dump them on
a
computer. Those are my two biggest complaints. What is annoying is that
their technical support is sad and I really don't think anybody is
listening!

Subject: [Braillenote] The Notetaker Debate
Hey all,
Well, I've had the opportunity of working with both a PAC Mate and a
BrailleNote throughout my schooling, and need to reach a decision about
what
notetaker to acquire for next year upon commencing my university
education.
I am leaning heavily towards the BrailleNote at this point, because I do
not
believe the PAC Mate meets the needs of a student in my situation.
Amongst
other things, it is sluggish, you can only work with one level of
directories within applications, the sound is dreadful, Word files are not
directly supported in their preferred editor, no accessible interactive
fiction client exists, there is a lack of thumb keys or any other
convenient
means for braille panning, the calculator doesn't support proper Nemeth,
the
connectivity is not as good as the BrailleNote's, no way exists to
independently control the volume of a streaming MP3 file and the speech,
multilanguage braille support is nonexistent, no way exists to translate
text on-the-fly when you copy and paste... you get the idea.
In other words, I'm nearly completely won over that the BrailleNote is the
way to go. I don't even care that it isn't open to third-party developers
at this point, because frankly, I think that the BrailleNote contains
nearly
everything I need in terms of notetaking, and most Pocket PC apps on the
PAC
Mate that I download are either just plain inaccessible or inefficient. I
am wondering though, for the sake of honesty, what people believe are the
BrailleNote's own downsides. I just think it is helpful to know, because
admittedly I have not used the BrailleNote in some time. Obviously it
lacks
Excel support, which isn't a huge deal to me. Could we add any more
items/comments to this list? Thanks.
Grant
