Hi Isaac, Thank you for the great info about the Braillino I may have more questions for you I hope you wouldn't mind One of the reasons I chose the Braillino is that it runs on triple A batteries. I think that is amazing! I think the BrailleNote is a great piece of gear. It will be interesting to transition from the BrailleNote to the Braillino. Oh wow, I had never thought about the fact that the Braillino didn't have speech until you mentioned it. It almost seems to me as if the BrailleNote sees the Mac, pairs and then as soon as it is switched out of terminal mode it forgets the pairing. It worked well for a few days for me. I used it to read banjo tab. I hope you can set up your E-mail. It is wonderful to be able to proofread your mail in Braille. I just love it. I hope you are having a great evening.
