[Nfb-krafters-korner] Note taker

Thu Sep 6 10:59:15 UTC 2012

How can you stand the repeat of each number, when you are trying to remember the phone number and dile it.  I think that would drive me crazy, especually with a memory problem!  
If I was trying to remember to dile 301 and the phone was saying, at the same time, 33 00 11, I think I would have trouble remembering the original number.

Wow! I go to bed in surrender to the power outage and wake up when the internet finally revives to find the list has "exploded!" '-D But you can't take your BrailleNote to a sighted friend/coworker/etc. and say, "Hey look at this." And they can't say, "Hey you should try XYZ app." Yes, the iPhone takes some getting used to, but once you've got it, you've got it. Someone can say "You tap on the button in the center of the screen", and sure enough, you can actually do that! '-) Also you can hook it up to any Braille display (including a
BrailleNote) and have Braille output on it as well. '-) With my RefreshaBraille and iPhone, I had light, pocket-sized access to any text I wanted, and often used it for reading all manner of things from lyrics to origami instructions to you name it!
