[Blindtlk] Your thoughts on the BrailleNote Touch

[steve.jacobson at visi.com]

Devin,

Do you use an L-Braille?  If so, I would be interested in your experiences.
I have some reservations about the L-Braille from things I have read, but I
do not know if they are justified.  

I think one of the challenges with these newer devices is to what degree one
wants a note-taker and to what degree one wants a computer with an
integrated braille display.  I have been somewhat frustrated with the degree
to which Android imposes itself on the use of the BrailleNote Touch, for
example.  With the L-Braille, I'm not sure why I wouldn't buy a more
powerful laptop and a braille display.  I don't know that having them in a
single unit is worth it.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

If you can manage to get the El Braille, that's what I'd go with. The Touch
is fine for school use, and basic usage of everything else, but the El
Braille is a full desktop operating system, with JAWS and a Focus 14 built
right in.

Do you like having the ability to send and receive docx files via
email on the Touch? I like that I can keep track of my
appointments in the daily planner.
