Jerry, I use my BrailleNote to access computers at my university campus. I also use the BN's e-mail and Internet functions for communicating with my professors and completing research assignments.
As a deafblind student, I also use my BrailleNote to access real-time captioning information in my university courses. (Real-time captioning is a means of conveying auditory information to the deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing via text. A captionist types a written transcript of what is said aloud in class on a laptop computer equipped with a screen reader. I read this information on my BrailleNote and can easily participate in class discussions. I also use the BrailleNote's GPS when I ride the bus. It's great because I can locate my stop independently without having to worry about the driver forgetting to tap me on the shoulder when we reach my destination. I can also learn about various businesses and restaurants in my neighborhood that I never knew about before. I've been a happy BrailleNote user for the past 2 1/2 years. It's a wonderful product and one I hope will continue to keep pace with the ever-changing world of technology.
