[Nfb-krafters-korner] Note taker

[Kendra Schaber]

Wish me luck! My poor old dinesore of a Env 9900 phone died and I am working 
to get an Iphone 4s. I have heard of so many good things about the Iphone 
4s. I have also seen it in action because three of my friends already has 
them. The best thing about the Iphone 4s is that it's the only mainstreme 
device that igzists in the whole world that I know about that is accessable 
to the blind and print-disabled community right out of the box. Why can't 
everyone else pull that? The world would be a much better place if everyone 
was proud to sell technology that is mainstreemed and is also accessable 
right out of the box. As for note takers, I use my lovely book port plus. 
For anyone who does not know what a book port plus is, I will tell you all a 
bit about them. A book port plus is a digital recorder that is also a reader 
if you will. You can record directly into MP3 files, read text documents, 
listen to any MP3 file that you own including music, movies, ECT and play 
your own recordings back. You can also listen to books from Learning Ally, 
the NLS and its affiliates and anyone else that allows you to regester your 
book port plus in order to play your books from. You can also play your 
newspapers from NEWSLINE on a book port plus. There are a few other features 
on a book port plus but I don't know much about them. For everyone who is 
new on the list, I believe that there are more members on this list who 
either owns or uses a book port plus. I am sure that there are more Iphone 
users on this list as well. I am not a user of an Iphone of any kind but at 
the end of this month, I am hoping to join that happy club.
