[nabs-l] two questions that are completely unrelated to one another

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi Sophie,

As far as I am aware the BrailleNote cannot connect to a wireless
printer, but it can go off of inferred which is really nice.  I used
it for a few years and although I still needed to be right by the
printer cutting out the cords saved me a lot of hassle.  Hope that
answers your question.

Absolutely.  I know a number of people who have tested out of Braille
courses at the centers.  My understanding from being on calls with Pam
Allen recently is that the centers try to meet the individual trainee
where they are in each of the class areas and build on those skills.
So, if you're braille is great they won't make you do a bunch of
unnecessary training and will instead spend that time on building up
other skills.

HTH!
