Well, I guess I'm spoiled. I want my braille display to be a notetaker too.
Don't get me wrong. I love my BrailleNote! But HumanWare here in the US
doesn't show any interest in its customers. They gave us no notice when
they changed their maintenance agreement policy and they probably wouldn't
have issued any announcement at all if those of us on the list hadn't
demanded it. The notice came from Maurice Sloane, not from anyone in the US
office.
Besides that, some people on this list have posted stories of how they would
send their units in to be fixed and they would receive them back with the
same problem or additional problems.
That's another reason why I hesitate to plunk down $2,995 to upgrade my
Tieman braille display--I'm afraid HW might foul something up when they made
the transfer.

Of course they'll upgrade the software. My issue is with the hardware
which
lacks some of the features of the VS. The SyncBraille has everything the
BN
display has. I have the 32 cell SyncBraille and it has cursor routing
keys
as well as directional keys for navigation. That way if I don't need
braille, I have a much smaller and more powerful device that will fit in
my
pocket if necessary.

//gw Micro plans to upgrade the software for the BrailleSense so I'm not
afraid of that. The SyncBraille is just a braille display with no frills
and I definitely don't want it.

My problem with the Braille Sense is that since it's based on older
technology it lacks some of the features the Voice Sense has. You might
want to consider the Voice Sense with SyncBraille depending on how much
you
use braille.
