Terri is right. You can also tell what you have keyed in and follow what is going on in the room around you. I went to a conference, held in an auditorium, and got a frunt row seet. I started out by using the chair beside me for the BN, but the room filled up and I finally had to give it up. I finally took notes, just holding the BN against my body with the strap across my sholder so I would not drop it. At the end, I had to ask my neighbor a question or two, but I took more notes than I have ever taken in a staff meeting. Don't wory about errors in a situation like this. You can always go back later and delete them. Remember, they are your notes not for the whole class. Good luck. Terry Powers

I would suggest turning off speech and use the braille display only. Using braille only has two advantages: (1) you can concentrate on listening to the people speaking at the meeting and (2) your battery will last longer. Terri Pannett, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
