For Marie and other's sake: 1. BN = BrailleNote. There's also the VN (VoiceNote) too. VoiceNote has speech output only, whilst BrailleNote has both speech and Braille output. 2. BT = Braille keyboard. There's also a QT, which uses a qwerty keyboard. 3. mPower = type of BrailleNote. Apparently means mobile. There's also the BrailleNote PK (BrailleNote Pocket) and BrailleNote classic, the original BrailleNote. 4. 32 = the number of cells on the Braille display. 18 cell versions also exist. 5. HW = HumanWare, the company who makes and distributes the BrailleNote/VoiceNote family of products, as well as others. Hope this helps.

Hello and welcome to the list! I use a BNBT mPower, and am also in college for a computer science degree; I want to program for HW. Don't hesitate to ask any questions; as the saying goes, "the only stupid question is the one you don't ask." There are many people who are more than happy to help you with any BN-related problems/questions.

I am currently training to use one at my local college where I'm studying a computing course. I hope to get a grant to allow me to purchase one.
