[nabs-l] The technology in specialized notetakers

[Anjelina Cruz]

HI all,
I used to heavily rely on my Braille Note but have found for me using
my computer during classes has been more productive. Is there a reason
why the technology in blindness devices seems to lag behind mainstream
technology? For instance, reading docx files has just come to the Apex
this summer.
I'm not at all unappreciative of the tools I have at my disposal,
however I wonder why there isn't more of a push within the blindness
community to modernize some of our tech choices faster.

What devices have you found help you be a productive student?
