[nabs-l] braille note V. Sense V. Packmate

I don't know about the Braille Sense's operating system, but I'll 
ask my friend who has one.  As far as the BN syncing to Windows 7 
computers, I'm not sure about that either.  But I'd assume I 
would have the same problem as with XP or Vista, being that the 
Apex is running Windows CE 6.0.

Chris:
quick question,
does the Braille Sense run on newer Windows OS then SE?
Also: have you tried syncing your BN to any Windows7 computer,
if so,
any trouble?

And,
as far as TTS, I agree with you, Elequence is so far my favorite.

 So does the Apex, but it's running a * really old version of 
Windows CE, which is annoying when trying to cync it to a newer 
PC.  By the way, what do you all think about the TTS on all these 
notetakers? I like Eloquence personally because it's more 
human-sounding and clearer in my opinion, but a lot of people 
like the BN's Keynote Gold.  What about the others?

 Hi Kirt:
 I'm not sure but from what I saw in convention the Sense runs on 
some form of Windows like system.

 JOrge,
 Right now, I'd say the Apex is the industry leader-with the 
Braille
 Sense nipping at its heels.  I like the interface on the PAC 
mate, but
 I think freedom scientific shot themselves in the foot trying to 
make
 it too open and...umm, what's the word...anti-proprietary?  I 
don't
 know enough about the Braille Sense interface, but I'd say the 
Apex
 has more features than the Pac Mate, but I like the Pac Mate 
interface
 better because I used it for 5 years.
 Warmest regards,
 Kirt

 Hi all:
 Just wondering,
 as far as note takers,
 which one in your opinion is the best or seems to be the 
industry leader?
 If so why?
 Which one seems to have the most feature-rich interphase?

 Thanks,

 Jorge
