Hello Humanware,
I have been using my Voice Note for several years now and
upgraded to the mPower to take advantage of of its extended
abilities. I really like the unit but have to say that data and
file integrity issues have to be the area of prime interest in
the next update. I would rather see an update focused on this
area rather than being offered new features built on a flaky
foundation of code where we never know if our work will go up in
smoke or not. Once file and data integrity can be taken for
granted, then building more features on that solid foundation
would be great. Now it seems to be a crap shoot and that isn't
good. Please consider fixing foundation issues before adding new
features to the mix.
I am still using KeySoft 7.20 because of concerns about version
7.5 but see issues in the web browser there that I had no
problem with in version 7.0 and hope some day to see the web
browser work as well as it did in the past or better. Am also
concerned about the loss of supported connectivity cards no
longer produced to work under Windows CE 4.2 and hope an upgrade
to Windows CE 6 will get us on a more even playing field with
hardware and software compatibility.

Subject: [Braillenote] This is rediculous!!
Okay, I am really not happy. No, scratch that; I am furious. I
completed revisions to an essay in a word file on my bn. I had
copied and pasted a lot of stuff, like quotes and urls, and I
found that, even though everything was in English, I got these
language tags with no letter like s or e. This leads me to my
first point: this causes the spell checker to say "spelling
dictionary is not installed". Why is this happening?
Next, I exited the file a few days ago and, as I just found out,
it had erased all data after one of these blank language tags! I
had a backup of the file, thankfully, and went into that to
modify a few small things before emailing it to my professor.
When I exited, I got that "exception: converter..." You know the
rest, I am sure. I had thought ahead, however, and copied the
entire file to the clipboard just in case something like that
happened... When I pasted the clipboard into a new file, I got a
blank language tag followed by an English language tag. No text,
no nothing. Just those tags.
This makes me extremely angry. I would like to thank Humanware
for, yet again, making a version of ks that has these bugs with
msw files and for erasing half (all") of my essay.
