[Trainer-Talk] Notetaker information

[Richard Cavallaro]

Good morning all,
My concern with the touch is it slow processor and the fact that it is raining an older version of android.
As more third-party apps become available, I suspect they could be dropping support for the Kitcat operating system.
Also, at this time you cannot use the braille note touch as a terminal with any PC Mac or iPhone or iPad.


Thanks.
 Rich

I have used the Touch since June. I am quite happy with it. There has been one update in August, and it improved the voice quality and a feow other things.

There are some features that I want to see included in the future, but I cannot identify more bugs.
I have recommended the Touch for several people since June.

I hope people will answer this on the list since we all can benefit from
this information. I plan to purchase a Braillenote Touch in the near future
because I believe it is the technology of the future.

    Good morning. I am considering purchasing either the BrailleNote Touch
or the Braille Sense u2 mini to use at work and at home. I have a laptop
using windows 10 and Jaws, but it is not a good solution. The computer
often freezes while I'm writing a document, and I also do not receive a
notification before the battery dies. I take notes for a college student
and also write novels. Are there any bugs I need to be aware of since the
BrailleNote Touch is a new device? Hims and Humanware have payment plan
options. On average, how much would I pay every month? I am a fast Braille
reader, and the devices I've had before had a thirst-two cell Braille
display. Will the u2 mini continue to be updated? I would also like the
pros and cons of both devices. Feel free to email me off list. Thank you.
      Sarah
