Uh, then it's up to you to leave a list that is talking about the braille note, which happens to come with speech. Although, unless one has been made already, it would be nice to see a note taker with just a braille display on it, no speech. I kind of wonder if it would bring down the price a smidgen. The Braille Star sounds close to what I'm thinking, although, I think it's just a braille display with a braille keyboard on it, but I'm not all fire sure what all it's used for.

I do not support them, PERIOD! It makes me mad, so please y'all hearing/blind QUIT talking about these SSSUUUCCCKKKIIINNNGGG speech stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That really SUCKS! ONLY THINK FIRST BEFORE SAYING SOMETHING! Otherwise, yes, we (you and I) have discussed these definitely and strongly frustrating issues about PDI a.ing/improving these Bations! We should persistently continue MEDDLING the PDI staff until we get to the point we want! Sorry if I have spoken so bluntly above but I must without fail speak up about these VN. I am not going to argue but only stand firm against these! The blind must without fail listen to us deafblind and must without fail understand our strong frustrations you hearing/blind do not understand! You, deafblind, understand my sharp frustrations???
