Hi, Congradulations. What type of keyboard and Braille display length are you getting? As for computer, yes you need ActiveSync or similar on Vista and Windows 7. Or, you can just use a UsB flash drive for this purpose. As for Eloquence, this is mostly due to system settings that control how Eloq speaks things. If you read the same document using KeyNote Gold, you'd notice almost the same speech behavior. Hope this helps. Cheers, Joseph P.S. My Apex is at the shop to get some components fixed.

I just had a few quick questions, and am sincerely sorry if they've been asked before. 1) In order to transfer files to and from my computer using the USB cable, can I simply connect, copy, and paste? or, must I install active sinc and use that every time? I'd really like to avoid it if I can, but if it's fairly easy to use, it shouldn't be a problem. What are peoples' experiences? 2) This is a question about elloquence. If, for instance, I want to have the voice read a document to me from start to finish, I find that it's halting--pausing slightly after every few words as if a comma were there when it isn't. For instance, if the sentence said: There was a girl sitting in a dark room at the back of the house. Elloquence would say it like this: "there was a girl, sitting in a dark room, at the back of the house." (does anyone know what I'm talking about? this halting way it speaks? if not, call me crazy). Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance for answering my questions, or for even reading this. Take care, -Shermeen ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
