Hi, The theory is that the newer guy works with AES. I'll ask the other forum and see what happens. Cheers, Joseph

Hi Stacy, I can't blame you for feeling the way you do about the Sync Braille. I'd consider it and get it fixed since I'd share with my wife since we both have voice senses. We'd use the sync braille at church! Unfortunately money is tight on my end so I doubt I could get it from you even though I wouldn't mind buying from you! I'd get it fixed! Perhaps I'd go a different direction myself! I think I'd check in with http://www.handytech.us They have braille displays under the HID banner which work with System Access, wireless phones including i-phone, i-pod Touch and I-pad. I think having a braille display which can work with a number of devices is a better way to go than having one which works with only one product. Even Perkins Products have a couple of displays which work on any number of products. I'm not prepared to pay $6100 for Apex and it may have the same problem that the VS has for me when it comes to my AES protocol connection. I plan to write Humanware about this as well as others to see if all notetakers won't work with AES. This should be interesting! I'll keep my VS for now since it is a good notetaker and if I encounter some wy fi connection it can use, I'll play! I'm checking with a friend of mine to see if he got the latest firmware and whether he can get his Email now. He is on the same cable connection but I think he has a wireless router which works with TKIP. I really thought the Sense products were going to take the world by storm but I think they too have fallen into the same old grind where they are updated at their convenience or they decide what is important rather than you and me! I feel for you just the same! Hope you can get things worked out! Keep me posted! Take care! Always good to hear from you!
