Brandon,
Podcasts and information coming directly from a developer are fantastic, and I'm honestly not trying to minimize that. Still, I'm going to wait until I get a few realistic reviews from people who have actually use this thing for a little while. I'm also very skeptical of software that doesn't give me some sort of trial option before I purchase.

>> Hello,
>> sorry for the multiple emails, but I forgot to say the most important feature:
>> One note saves in real time, so you never have to hit ctrl S to save. after every key you hit it saves.
>> There is also a misc. folder that you can throw all your junk like the schedule you try to follow each day and your list of things to do.

>> Hello,
>> I thought you note taking students would love to check this out. You know that feeling when you have over 20 word documents open, alt tabbing through notes to write a paper? One note is a simulation of a notebook, that is super accessible. Now you can have all your notes in one application and just use hot keys to move between documents.
>> You can export your notes to a PDF, word and an interactable virtual viewer.
>> to learn more, listen to his podcast and try it out!

>> As we near the middle of 2013, Do It Blind is ecstatic to announce a new script!  We have been working long and hard on OneNote by Microsoft.  We now have OneNote Blind!  OneNote is a word processing program included in many of the Microsoft Office packages.  It is a great alternative to Word and has many different features which make life easy.  In a nutshell, OneNote is a virtual notebook.  You can create different notebooks, sections within the notebook, and pages within the sections.  It is a phenomenal tool to organize thoughts, letters, and projects all in one program and all accessible from one screen.  You no longer have to open up several word documents and switch back and forth.  With OneNote, everything is on the same screen.  Because of the amazing features, we decided to script OneNote and create OneNote Blind.  It is now fully accessible to the visually impaired and blind users!  We are absolutely positive this will be a tremendous tool for blind people.  It is easy to navigate through notebooks, sections, and pages.  You can scroll through all of your notes with just the touch of the tab key.  We are confident OneNote Blind will make your life easier and make your notes more organized and easy to access.
