[Trainer-Talk] Notetaker information

[Jim McCarthy]

Though I may not be right on this, I understand that humanware will be able
to update the operating system as needed in future. I do think that the
terminal issue is one that users will find important and do not get a clear
sense when that will be addressed. I hear it will be but there seems
uncertainty as to when.

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.

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
