RE: [GWN] notetakers

[John Gallagher]

Hi Dianne yes grate the size and being able to carry the techie stuff 
is very important. I wonder how much heavier the braille sense is 
than the pk.? I am thinking of going to sight village but it is so 
very busy. I do have a demo of jaws as well. I love the braille 
output but the price is big if you look at the voice sense to the 
braille sense.
I wonder if with the voice and braille sense what the future is as 
regards to updates. thanks very much for getting back though. will 
pay force ten a call. thanks.At 14:43 01/07/2008, you wrote:
Hi John

I live in the UK, I know what you mean about Force Ten but if you contact
them they will do a home visit to show you what the Braille sence or voice
sense are like. On a personal note I have had a Braillenote and a pacmate
but love my little voicesence it is a little harder to learn than a
braillenote but well worth the effort. If you were a Jaws user I might say a
Pacmate would be a good idea as the keyboard commands are very similar if
not the same for most things but as you are a Window eyes user I think it
may not be quite as easy. Also although the Pacmate can take third party
programs it is a much heavier thing to carry around with you.
Hope these comments help.
Diane

Hi list
I am very interested in acquiring a second notetakers. I have the
braille note pk.
I am looking at the voice or braille sense plus or a pac mate.
I travel a lot and I know the pacmate can have third party software.
I am n ot sure about the braille sense plus
I did phone the uk distributors but they did not send me any info on
the braille sense plus.
I use window eyes and know gwmicro are a grate company.
Would I be better buying online from gwmicro or going to force ten
who do not seem blind friendly to me.
is there a try before you buy with these notetakers.
now to the size is the braille sense smaller than the pacmate?
sorry about all the questions but it is a lot of my own money I will
be spending.
thanks for any reply.
just joined the list so hi to everyone.
I work as a piano tuner in the uk.
