<div style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="yiv1859987346MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:Arial;FONT-SIZE:10pt;">Hi Fellow Educators and blind
consumers:</span>
</div>
<div style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="yiv1859987346MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:Arial;FONT-SIZE:10pt;">Below is my opinion about note
taking. To my knowledge the ipad and <span style=""> </span>the iphone do not have many apps for
blind users. It's true that aph rerreshabraille costs $1,800 with 18 cells. But
Freedom Scientific sells a braille display that can be connected to the
computer, but you would need to ask about connecting the braille display for hte
iphone for $1,3395 with 20 cells of refreshable braille. Regarding purchasing a
note taker or using a braille display with the iphone is a personal choice. I do
not have the desire to use an iphone since the voiceover feature andand the need
to tap to use the <span style=""> </span>touch screen do
not appeal to me. I also use my note taker for personal and <span style=""> </span>professional use and prefer to store
information in braille rather than in prprint. Freedom Scientific has great
technical support and I do not see the need for me to get a Iphone or Ipad. I am
ok using a computer with a braille display attached to write up professional
documents and a note taker to store confidential information on in braille. Each
person has different needs, so one option does not fit each person's needs.
