Lisa, I almost never use the speech output of the bn and usually forget it's even there. I do have the microlink fm system and did plug the direct input cable into the earphone jack of the bn. It works quite well actually, and the speech is really quite clear. This is going to vary from person to person and system to system, but it definitely does work and is worth trying. The bn has mono output through the headphone jack, but the actual jack is stereo, so any earphone with a stereo plug on the end will work, and this also would hold true for a patch chord such as with an ald.

I don't use speech because the Braille display is more efficient for me to use and because I'm concerned about damaging the BN's speaker output because of the volume level. For those of you who are hearing impaired, have any of you used an assistive listening device/FM system with your BrailleNote or VoiceNote? I have a DAI (direcct audio input) boot cord for my hearing aids and was thinking that I could plug that into the headphone jack of the BN. I've tried using headphones but I experience distortion when setting the volume to a level that I can hear.
