Terri, I agree with your points. That said, I must confess that it is easier to switch out your smart phone for a new one if your old one acts up. GW appears to be really good about a prompt turnaround time, but if forced to choose between shipping or visiting a nearby store, the nearby store seems more appealing. I wish one of the mainstream manufacturers would buy out one of the adaptive technology companies or solidify a partnership. With current legislation, perhaps greater attention will be brought to the issue.

I want my notatetaker to be in one unit and I want its interface to be user-friendly for the blind. I don't like depending on cell phones for notetakers because cell phones change too much and they are fragile. Besides, you have to depend on external screen readers for using them and every time you have to change phones, you must install a screenreader. Besides, notetakers are best for children or seniors because they are more rugged, easy to use and they are good tools for learning braille. Terri Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
