One other comment I'll add, the Sense products will read rtf
files, where other notetakers don't. That right there is a plus
in my mind. Also, you can add a persons email address to the
address book without doing a work-around. That's a plus.

Subject: [GWN] a good braille translation feature
Hi All,
There's a great feature here in terms of Braille translation.
A good example of how this helps is the simple matter of writing
contracted Braille or reading it. Let's say we need to put a
forward slash into the document. Put a dot 4 just ahead of the s
t and the unit will read this as a slash.
An in-coming message which has the spash will also read properly,
even if the message is an Ascii document. and the Braille
translator is running. You'll see the slash and not the s t
sign.
Not all devices have this feature.
Again, as I've said, we can talk about the negative aspects of
our Braille Sense 32's, but there are lots of positives. Much
depends on what you need at the time you are considering buying a
notetaker. If you need RSS, it's not here. If you want it to
play NLS books, it won't.
If you're in a city and want to listen to FM stations while you
do other things, this unit will let you do that.
It's e-mail works very well.
I'm thinking about a good product which does have RSS and can
play NLS books, but the word processor is terrible. It cannot
handla long documents as our units can.
