[blindlaw] BrailleNote Touch Thoughts

[Angela Matney]

I have one and use it in very specific situations. What I really like about it is the ability to type very quietly, without the typical keyboard clatter. I use it when I am taking notes at conferences, CLEs, etc. I ended up with this device because my first choice was not going to be available. I wanted something with onboard notetaking capabilities because, while I use braille displays and iOS devices every day, Apple has been known to "break" braille support before. So the Touch fit the bill for something that was quiet and functioned as a stand-alone notetaker. I don't use any of the other apps on the unit, though. I agree that, over all, a tablet or phone with a braille display provides more functionality.

I  bought one a couple years ago and want to get rid of itt. I don't like it
much either. It constantly freezes and is too heavy and complicated. I
didn't use the glass tablet at all.

Does anyone here use the BrailleNote Touch? My employer purchased it for me
even though it was not my top choice. I have not had it long, but to be
honest I do not understand the rave reviews it is getting. It has some
pretty obvious design flaws, perhaps the biggest being that any document
over about 500 kb opens incredibly slowly. (I did contact tech support about
this, and I am not the only one to have reported this problem.) I also
really don't understand the appeal of a "braille tablet"--if you want that,
why not just get an an actual tablet and a braille display at less than half
the price?
