Hi Jonathon and folks,
Well, Jonathon, I tried the pk with the twin cable that will let you hookup
the pk to the serial port of the computer and the ps2 keyboard and turned
on visual display on the pk and the braillenote viewer on my pc.
It worked fantastic, even always better when running window-eyes, since
window-eyes will talk when keys are pressed on the qwerty keyboard or on
the pk.
I then tried it withthe pk still hooked up to the desktop pc and
disconnected my ps 2 qwerty keyboard and had the pk bluetooth connect to
the bluetooth qwerty keyboard I had and everything worked perfectly too.
I could use the qwerty keyboard and control the pk, go through menus onthe
pk an dopen them up and files, wow!
I then tried the suggestion I put forth saturday about a fm transmitter
attached to the pk an dsend the voice to a small fm radio and I had the pk
playing a beatles song, hay jude, so I would have plenty of time to connect
everything and test it out.
The little fm reciever is from C-crane and is very small running on one
triple a battery or you can have it on ac power with a ac adaptor
Then the other person, like the captionist, just needs to have a small fm
radio, which they do make them very small or the captionist just has
her/his walkman with a fm radio built in and their headphones and they are
in business and no wires attached to the person with the pk, if they are
using a bluetooth qwerty keyboard. wow!
The blind/deaf person , just carries their pk and a very small battery
operated fm transmitter, which the one I have easily fits in the palm of
your hand.
I will keep you all up-to-date as I find out other great things this pk can
do for all of us.
Jonathon, maybe you can answer one question for me, I read through the
getting started chapter and I still can't figure out what the button to the
left of the joy stick does. keyboard help doesn't say anything when it is
pushed and the first chapter doesn't mention it as best as I can tell.
What is it?
Thanks.
Roger
