[Nfbmt] note takers for blind users

[Rik James]

Well, while we are talking the shop talk about devices.
How about the note taking device of choice for the blind consumer?
What is considered the good note taker now days since the braille n speak, 
type n speak and so on has gone bye bye.

I guess a laptop with a screen reading software is the cheapest way to go.
But a part of me wants something where you don't have to fight and fuss with 
Windows so much.
I'm still not so hot on this tablet since you really need a keyboard anyhow 
and all. Balancing a tablet and the little Bluetooth keyboard on your lap, I 
find it kind of gets ridiculous for me. Seems I may as well just have a 
laptop where the keyboard is just part of it anyhow.

Ted has the Voice Note. I can find where Humanware sells it but it is not 
listed under their support page of devices.
And it is nearly 2 grand anyhow.

There was a fellow at Orlando who told me something about how a new deal had 
been struck, and an affordable device was scheduled to roll out this fall 
that was less than a grand that would come from Germany.
But you know. I did not get any more detail or remember that fellow's name.
Have any of you heard of this?

sprecken zee doytch?

it is just a little song in my head all the time.
where the bluebirds sing sing sing.

Thanks.
