Hi tom, I am a happy QT Apex user. I haven't felt a BT keyboard but I learnt to touch type before I learnt braille so I have always been happier on a QT. Also just because you now have the QT doesn't meen you can't type a document in braille, if you want to type a braille document then you use the s d f and j k l keys as your braille keys.
Good luck with your new machine when it arrives and never feel bad about asking questions to this list. We are all here to help each other out and remember "the only silly question is one you don't ask" or so they say. >From Shaz.

As a result, I think | it is only fair that I let you know of a decision I made today. | | Basically, I have decided to make the switch from the BT32 Braille Note | Apex, to the QT32 Apex with the qwerty keyboard. I am still well within the | 30-day free exchange period, so I thought that I'd better make the switch | soon if I'm going to do it. | | It's hard for me to explain why I have decided to make the switch, but I'll | just say it this way. For whatever reason, even though I'm a very | proficient Braille user, the Braille-style keyboard was just too hard for me | to get used to, and to feel comfortable with. I tried a qwerty keyboard BN | Apex today, and the keyboard simply felt much more comfortable to me. | | It probably will be a few weeks until Humanware processes the change, and I | get my new qwerty model. So, in the meantime, I'm going to read up on the | documentation I have that will be helpful with the qwerty functions. | | If anyone has any helpful hints, command lists, or "how to" guides for the | qwerty Braille Note Apex, please send them my way. I will also check out | the braillenote users web site to see what I can find there. | | I am sure at least some folks here will disagree with what I have done, but | it really does seem like a matter of personal preference to me, more than | anything else. | | Thanks for listening, and again, for putting up with all of my questions of | late. | | Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan | | | | ___ | Replies to this message will go directly to the sender. | If your reply would be useful to the list, please send a | copy to the list as well. | | To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to | [email protected] | To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit | http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote | ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
