Hi, I have noticed this too. It appears to happen when I'm brailling at speed which makes it even more inconvenient, but the whole unit seems to freeze and I have to reset it to get it working again. I'm not sure what the cause of it is, but I can't really send it back as I use it on such a regular basis. It's a shame because otherwise it's such a good unit.

Yes, I've had the same loss of speech with my PK, practically ever since I've had the unit. And, as with others, I do just live with it, and then do the c 3 and c 4 reset to get the PK talking once again. I find a bit more annoying, though, to be typing an email and then be popped out of it and back in the list of emails. But, it does appear that HW has at least made this issue a bit easier for us. For, a couple KS versions ago when I was knocked out of the email message I was composing, I would lose that entire message, no matter how long or short its content. Now, though, when I'm dropped out of composing a message, that message which I was typing then shows up in the drafts email folder. And, I only lose, at most, maybe a word or two or three of what I was trying to write. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Richard Turner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "'BrailleNote List'" <[email protected] >Date sent: Wed, 26 Dec 2007 06:04:53 -0800 >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] PK Speech keeps stopping >First, I added the "PK" to the subject line as I'm only aware of this on PK >units. >I have a co-worker who is also seeing this and getting quite frustrated. >She was a life-long Braille-N-Speak user until this last year. >She too is learning to live with it.
