Hello List:
Follows the body of a letter emailed to 3 Humanware
managers:
December 9, 2009 Lucia Gomez, BrailleNote Product
Manager HUMANWARE
Dear Ms Gomez:
Having used a BrailleNote for many years, I wish to
thank you for the thoughtful development of such a
tool. I use it every day for a variety of tasks.
Some features are used rarely, but many are used
daily and my ability to manage my work would be
greatly impaired without this product. I am excited
about the new Apex BrailleNote and the improvements
that it offers. Especially I look forward to the
improved MS Word support in KeyWord. I am not a
programmer, nor do I wish to become one. I am a
clinical social worker, however I strongly support
the provision of a SDK or software developer kit
that could be Publically available with a contract
and fee. This would open up possibilities for the
BrailleNote to have specialized applications that
might prove helpful. For my own productivity I
would gladly pay a fee to someone who could provide
a very simple method of marking my weekly KeyPlan
schedule with indications if a patient had come to
treatment and what services they received or if they
cancelled;
then tally up my monthly statistics. This is not
a common need and I would not suggest that Humanware
provide this. If we had access to programmers who
could provide for such individual needs I would be a
very, very happy camper. Many folks in the blind
community have other specific needs and such
development could be possible with a public SDK.
Please give this issue your serious consideration as
the firm that allows for such development will have
a distinct advantage over all of the competition.
Thank you for the BrailleNote line and thank you for
your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely, JD Townsend
