Jean:
There are several ways to transfer files. The BN comes with MS Activesync,
& serial cable. The cable is necessary if you want to utilize the Braille
Display option in your screenreader. It is also necessary to use
activesync, which will allow for file transfer. An easier method, at least
I think so, is to save files on a Compact Flash Card, & use a card reader to
read them on your PC. The BN has a CF slot, as well as a PCMCIA slot, that
will accomodate a CF adapter.
Confused yet? Your not alone, I am sure.

Hello Bruce
Thanks. So, how are files transferred to the PC? You all are talking
about wireless connections, etc. Our family PC isn't set up with
wireless, so could it also be done with a USB connection?
I really like the the ability to save to multiple formats within BN. Or
at least it sounds good. Smile.
Thanks again for your vote of confidence in terms of what I'm looking for.

Jean:
Braille files can be exported to Word, RTF, word perfect, or TXT files, &
my experiencxe has been that little, or no, corrections have to be made
to formatting them when I look at them on my PC.
Having the help available, from within an application, also is superb.
Welcome to the list, you should learn a great deal here.

Well, hello, Bob and Maxy-wax
Thanks for sharing your positive experiences. Although our CNIB library
doesn't have a lot of e-braille yet, their collection is growing and I
think they hav around 1400 titles now. I want to use the BN to read
books as well.
I also want to use it to write long documents that can easily be
transferred into Word for final formatting. I can write braille much
faster, and with contractions, the initial text input will be faster
than traditional typing.
Again, thanks for sharing, and hello to you both.
Jean and Stetson
