Hello Jim and everyone! I think this is one of the valuable things about the BrailleNote. As a teacher, I'm thrilled to teach my students how to use the BrailleNote because it reinforces what they are being taught. They can choose to read in Grade 1 Braille and then can add contractions as they learn them. Having both the speech output and the Braille display makes it a valuable tool for those learning Braille! The BrailleNote has tons of wonderful advantages and is an incredible machine! We are blessed to have companies like PDH who do their best to please us, the customers.
With a smile, Karen
