The other thing the PK has that BN/VN's don't is a faster processor. This
is the only thing I wish my BNQT had, and since the upgrade, almost
everything is so much faster, I really don't care about that anymore.

Terry, not to mention where they put the keys for dots 1 and 4. I'm
sorry to say that my attempt to take notes in a meeting with a borrowed
PK resulted in a whole page of Egyptian! (grin)

I love my keyboard on my BT. I have been writing braille since second
grade. I only saw the PK once and there are just to many keys on it.
Why did they make the double space bar and I can not, for the life of
me, accept the fact that they took the print/emboss feature away. At
least in 6.11 we would have the print feature and we would have both
memory cards.
I think the 6.11 can have wireless so what are they missing that the PK
has? I don't know of anything and the 6.11 has more memory and can
print.

The BrailleNote and the PK have vastly different hardware. There is no
way
around this! We already had to send in our BN classics to get the
motherboard upgrades when 4.x came on the scene, and I know of very few
people who have either the funds or the time to send away their units
for
more hardware upgrades. PDI/Humanware did a fantastic job with the
latest
upgrade, and I have never regretted having a BNQT instead of a PK.

Hi Josh and list, I find it very discriminatory that the PK has things
on it that the Braillenote does not. Whilst I'm prepared to buy hardware
upgrades, I'm not prepared to shell out thousands of pounds for a new
machine. I've had my BN for four years and for the money I've shelled
out on it, I expect it to last for a good few years yet. There ought to
be an insurance against breakage and wear and tear, as us people who
bought the machine for work purposes and now can't work for reasons
beyond their control can still make use of the machine in the future. I
use my BNBT every day of the week and would be lost without it. Cheers,
Steve

I think there is plenty in the manual about using the remote
synthesizer. And some of what your asking we would need a hardware
update for. If you want some of this stuff now, buy yourself a
braillenote pk.

Hey!
Okay, I was thinking again, yes, bad sign. LOL Anyway I have
suggestions for the next upgrade, after 6.1, which I haven't received
yet. Anyway, here goes.
1. Wireless use of the BN with the computer, for things such as
remote
synthesizer, the BN as a display, active sink, printing and
embossing,
etc.
It would get rid of all those cables.
2. Media player playing live streams, as well as Winamp stations, and
Audible books. The volume needs to be controlled independently so you
can
listen to music and surfe the net.
3. Playing Daisy books.
4. The supporting of the file type .kes from Kurzweil. This would
also
include being able to summarize documents, read any note you've made
with
Kurzweil, or read any highlight you've made. You should also be able
to
make
the notes, document summaries, highlights, etc on the BN and be able
to
open
and use them with Kurzweil.
4. Planner, be able to make one appointment for different times, not
just
once a week, or once a month.
5. Separate address book for E-mail recipients. The main address list
is
to
detailed and often times you don't want phone numbers, just E-mail
addresses.
6. In the stop watch, be able to pre set a time and have the BN go
off at
that particular time, its the only feature I miss from the Braille
and
Speak.
7. Improve spell checker.
8. Improve formatting and translation of text and word documents.
9. Make a banking program, which will allow you to keep track of your
accounts, and fill out and print checks using your printer, or
embosser.
10. Please, update the Spanish software, its good, but you have lots
of
bugs
and haven't released an update sense the software was released three
years
ago. Its the best out there, but needs improving.
11. Put more info in the manual about using the BN as a display, i.e.
what
thumb keys do what.
12. Put more info in the manual about using the Remote Synthasizer.
