Could someone describe the PK? If it's a handheld device, then how do
you use it to enter text? My assumption would be that for extensive
braille input, the standard BN 18 with braille keyboard would be better.

Hi Jean,
The Braille Note or PK is a good choice. I can't answer as to how
difficult it may be to upgrade the display from 18 to 32. I believe
the BN is a good choice for braille users. It works well with
Enabling Embossers and the Blazer. It is very automatic when reading
many document types as Microsoft Word Documents on the BN display.
One can pretty much read and write in Braille Grade two with this
notetaker. It is very easy to use and with the latest upgrade, it has
any number of fine features. Please feel free to write with your
questions.

I've recently joined this list as an observer and potential buyer of a
BrailleNote down the road. I'm looking into some possible funding,
but in the meantime, I'm just going to be observing the list to see
what people are saying about BrailleNote in all its configurations. I
may have a question from time to time, and please understand I'm not a
user and have never actually used this equipment. So, what I ask may
seem stupid to some.
If I opt for a BrailleNote 18, how difficult is it down the road to
upgrade to the 32?
I'm considering the BrailleNote because I have heard from so many of
its superior responsiveness for fast, accurate braille input. Would
those of you with the braille keyboard agree?
I want the braille experience, and BrailleNote seems to be to be built
around braille, whereas the PacMate is built around speech access with
braille tacked on. Is that a fair assessment?
So that's it for now. I just thought I'd speak up and say I'm here
observing.
Thanks to anyone who is willing to share their thoughts and
experiences.
Jean
