<DIV dir=ltr>Hello everyone, the stylus I use is called a saddle. To me, it is
haped like the top of a heart. I have weak hands and really bad thumbs and this
one works really well.</DIV>

<DIV>Hello Judy,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>At the moment I'm using regular notepaper, light weight index
cards, and vinyl protective shield labels like the ones they use in
libraries. I gave up on the dymo plastic labels because even after
creating the text for the label, I had a terrible time trying to get the
backing off the label. The vinyl protective shield labels come off the
roll pretty easily and hold on for dear life to whatever I stick them to so
far.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for speed, I'll worry about accuracy first. :)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I find that half the letters I write are mirrored the wrong way after
getting past the first couple of letters. Still a daily work in progress
and worth it in the long run for taking notes when I'm away from a regular
keyboard.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you!</DIV>
<DIV>Tony</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<P dir=ltr>Hi, Tony,</P>
<P dir=ltr>As much as I use a notetaker, I wouldn't be without a slate and
stylus.</P>
<P dir=ltr>First, What kind of paper are you using? I would recommend using
regular notebook paper. All through high school, college, a teaching
career, rehab instructor, then busy mom, I used a standard spiral notebook
you get at the store. Although thinner paper, after all these years, the
braille still holds up.<BR></P>
<P dir=ltr>I'm hoping that the thinner paper will allow you to more
comfortably use any stylus you wish, plus speed up your writing.</P>
<P dir=ltr>Let us know how it goes.</P>
<P dir=ltr>Judy </P><BR>

anyone still use a slate and stylus that has found a comfortable stylus to
use with arthritis or neuropathy? I'm working on getting my brain to
properly flip braille for a slate but I find that the couple of styluses I
have are hard to use after a line or two.<BR><BR>Take care,
