Sarah, I use Kurzweil.  I have used it for over 10 years and love it.  When you are ready to make a purchase talk with a technology specialist to see which is best for your needs at the time.

I use the Braillesense from HIMS.  I had a Braillenote in the past.  I use JAWS too.  I think we all make decisions about technology based on price, best fit and our preferences.

Marianne, thanks for all the information you provided me with . I do not as of yet own either openbook or kurzweill. I have a stand alone machine, Aladin Ambassador, from a company that went out of business a few years ago, telesensory. I needed to buy myself a new notetaker to store information for my job earlier this year, so I am strapped for cash to buy either product. However, I plan to buy either product sometime in the future. Just curious to know, which product do you use. I ended buying myself a pacmate omni, since I like the company and customer service is very happy assistance to assist when needed. Also, the proice was more affordable than the braillenote from humanware. I went down to the NFB technology and had a chance to see all notetakerxs from various companies. All work on a windows platform, but the prices range from 2895 from freedom scientific to 6000$ from humanwareand one company Hims is based in Korea. I found the speech output on that product hardd to understand. So, since price was a consideration I bought the pacmate omni from Freedom scientific. Thanks again for all the valuable information.
