I'm exactly there.  Actually, I have it at rate 16 now.  I use my 
BrailleNote for everything.  Schoolwork, reading, song 
downloading, everything.

I have my jaws at rate 86, read roughly 140 words a minute, and 
have my apex at rate 13.  I have voiceover at normal speed 
because I don't like its rhythm when it reads faster.

 You a bit remind me of what I do.  I turn off the speech myself, 
to avoid disturbing the class.  Yes, I use a stream.  Are you 
using the second generation stream? Just curious.

 Hi all.

 I use a BrailleNote Apex for schoolwork and emails.
 I know that you guys might think that audio is faster than
 Braille, but I turn off the speech on my BrailleNote so as not 
to
 disturb the other kids in my class.
 However, I also use a Victor Reader Stream to listen to books,
 and its audio qualy, to me, is very good.
 I also use a computer with Jaws installed for surfing the web 
and
 for playing games.
 I'm not  sure what my average braille reading speed is, but now
 that you mentioned it, I'll probably test that and see, although
 I do know that I'm a fast Braille reader...

 Sami.

 Hi Helga, me, personally, I  like audio more.  Braille, for me,
 is rather slow.  I have my BrailleNote sped up to the maximum
 speed, rate 16.  I just simply like audio more than braille.
