Many braille devices have keyboards on them and you can use the keyboard on
the braille device for navigating the screen and for writing.
Presently, I'm using both of my notetakers, an Apex and a BrailleSense Plus
with my PC. I was very disappointed to discover that all of the keyboard
hot keys for the Apex qwerty won't work. I've talked to both GW Micro and
HumanWare about this, but I have no idea when it will be fixed. The BSP
qwerty's keyboard works fine with WE, but the hot keys and their
descriptions don't match the qwerty key presses, but I don't know when this
will be fixed either.
I used a BrailleWave for two years and it worked fine until it quit working.
I wouldn't want to have both the customer and the synthesizer going in the
same ear. I'd prefer using braille only. I can't stand fast speech--never
could. When I took dictation, a job I detested, I had the dictaphone in one
ear and the synth in the other. That was back in the early '90's. When I
worked switchboards in the late 70's and 80's, nothing was computerized so I
didn't have to worry about listening to two things at once.
