[Trainer-Talk] Notetaker information

With the new wave of notetakers being able to access applications from
operating systems, like Android with the BrailleNote Touch or Windows
10 App Store with the ElBraille, looking at font information might be
more achievable. For instance, perhaps you can look at and work with
font attributes more easily in Google Docs on the BrailleNote Touch. I
would also check with the vendor, as well as see if you can put your
hands on one of them before making the purchase. This is not always
possible, but it could help you decide which one feels better to you.
It is like looking for a new computer; I can read all the online
reviews, but until I go to the store and touch some of them, I don't
really know what I'm getting.

Good luck,
Wayne
