[blindlaw] Notetakers

This may sound crass, but you may want to keep practicing, because
eventually you get better.  Try using two fingers to do it, one to highlight
the number or letter, and the other to tap the keyboard.  Make sure settings
aren't set so that the minute you lift up your finger the key is entered.
That makes it hard.  Also, apple sells a Bluetooth keyboard that works
pretty good with the IPhone.  I only type text messages, not emails.  I
would use the blue tooth keyboard if I were using it for email.

Hello John,
Though there's always a fair bit of subjectivity to such an evaluation, you
seem to have struck upon some of the same points that have restrained me
from making the leap to using an iPhone or iPad in court situations. I
really like the accessibility features of IS devices, but I still find the
Apex's combination of Braille and a hardware keyboard to be the most elegant
solution at present. Apex support of USB drives and SDHC cards also make it
really simple to transfer documents from remote storage, so you can treat it
just like any other computer. They may not weigh much alone, but an iPad,
Braille display and keyboard add up to far more than the Apex, require
independent charging and are dependent on all components to work. And while
far from perfect, the Apex keyboard feels luxurious compared to a virtual
equivalent.
That's just my opinion and there's nothing to say it won't change tomorrow,
but that's how i see it for now.

Respectfully,
Aser Tolentino, Esq.

The I devices are in too parts. It's the device and the Braille display. I
need something that is one unit. Also the apex turns on faster and I like
that. The idevices are not as efficient either and I can't have that. Also a
notetaker would be less to carry and keep track of. It's also not very heavy
as a iPad and Braille display would be. Are these bad reasons? What do you
guys think?
