hello. The thicker point styli will not work very well and can risk
damaging the BookSense. We recommend a thin point stylus, the end of an
earring, or toothpick, or an extended paperclip.
Many thanks.

Yes, my girlfriend used a pen on her XT model, and hit the reset button
for about 5 seconds and the male voice worked after that. I tested a
stylus on my standard model, and it did work. I have one of those thin
point ones. I don't know if the thick point would fit in there or not.
Still, it was a bit traumatic for her because she lost speech altogether
before hitting the reset button. It was partly my fault I suppose
because I suggested that if hitting the 5 key for a few seconds didn't
switch to the male voice, then why not try going to the voice menu and
see if we couldn't get the male voice that way. Well, when she tried to
switch to the male voice in the voice menu, the unit went silent and
would not talk at all. That was a scary experience for someone who is
easily intimidated by computer stuff. Luckily, it only took a few
seconds on the reset button to fix the problem.
My standard model has worked flawlessly so far and I am really liking
this little thing a lot. I know I'm gonna like it even more when my BARD
application is approved.

Denise had to use something like a pin, or safety pin. The stylus
didn't work. My wife is unsure if she even felt a give or not. In the
end it rebooted itself but it was kind of a surpise.
Activating that button may just be a matter of practice.

HI folks. I tried taking out the battery several times and it did not
work. I found a styless and put it in the pinhole but when I put
pressure on it there was no give like there was no button to depress.
DO you have any other tips? Thanks. Would reinstaling the 1.1 beta or
roling back to the previous version help?
