[Blindtlk] Technology questions for a new job

[Judy Jones]

I also do more brailling and writing.  In my office job and client interviews, I use mainly the note taker.  I have  HIMS U2 mini, which also fits in my purse.

I use the computer for all of our agency online tasks, although I do not use a braille display hook up for that, I haven't had the time to get proficient with all the key combinations.  That is where a keyless display would be good, like the old PowerBraille, no learning curve there.

I can see where voice recording could be beneficial with newspaper work, depending on what you are doing, but I don't like using voice apps much with my phone either.  I mostly use the Bluetooth hookup when I need it, I'm more comfortable with braille, as I want that input, just my preference of use.

The question is what works best for you. There is no one way. In my job where I get to do writing, I use a computer, a braille display, a braille writer, and a slate and stylus. I can do voice memos, but I think better if I actually write. If you don't need a note taker, don't buy one.

   Good morning. I work at a community college and will also be working for the local newspaper. Will the voice memos on my iPhone be a good option to record interviews, or is there another product I should buy? I have a laptop running Jaws and a focus 40 blue. Should I use that to write the articles or buy a notetaker? Thank you.       Sarah
