[Electronics-talk] OT: Looking for Discussions of Notetakers

[Annette Carr]

Hi Craig,

Off of the top of my head, I am not aware of a list for note takers in
general.  So depending on what you want to get out of a group and if you
have a specific device in mind, here is some info you might find helpful. 

Freedom scientific had a link off of their site for a PackMate users group.
It has been years since I've used a PacMate, so I do not know if it is still
in existence.

When GWMicro was selling the BrailleSense and VoiceSense products, they had
a user's group.  But now that HIMS opened an US office and took back the
sales of their devices and I am no longer using a voiceSense, I'm not sure
if HIMS started up a group.  There might be something on their website.

The BlindPhone Discussion group used to be a good source for the use of
smart phones.  There have been many discussions on how to use these
mainstream devices for note takers and more.

When I first started using Apple products, I belonged to a group called
PortablePlayers.  I have not seen anything come through from them in a
while, so I do not know if they are still out there.

If you are considering any of the Apple products, visit the AppleVis
website.  There are all types of review of Apps and a variety of forums to
belong to.  The Apple products offer a lot of versatility, especially with
all of the new portable braille displays and input devices on the market.

Depending on what you are looking for in a note taker, considering a Netbook
with your favorite screen reader is another option.  

Write me off-list and we can arrange to talk more if your goal is to learn
more about your options.  Say hi to your other half.

Greetings to the list.

Would someone please direct me to email lists where Braille and voice output
notetakers are discussed?

Thank you.

Craig
