Hi, Don,
I don't have the speech on at all except that it may say something when it
is done. I read the documentation before I started. I thank you for your
additional comments. If I get up at six, it will have been doing its thing
for 13 hours or so. Thanks.

Evelyn,
When it's done, the display goes blank and speech is silent. It won't
hurt a thing for it to sit there until you get to it. When you do, plug
in the charger for a
few seconds without turning off the braillenote. It should start talking
again for a few seconds and then say or show the message something like
"discharge
complete".
At that point you can continue to work or just shut it off and let it
charge.
Even if I have things to do, I usually shut the bn off for at least a
couple of minutes to allow the charge to really get going, but I don't
think you actually are
required to do that.
If you have the speech set rather low and start with a full charge, it
could probably take 12 hours easily, but I'd think it should be done when
you get up in
the morning or shortly thereafter.

Hi,
I live in a condo. although I have a garage, that solution might disturb
the neighbors. My basement is not sound proffed at all. I am wondering what
may happen if it finishes before I get up in the morning. I started this
process around perhaps 5:15 pm. I frequently am up by 6 am.
