[nabs-l] braille note V. Sense V. Packmate

Fri May 20 23:01:17 UTC 2011

Oh, you've had problems?

Hmmm.
Do you think I'll be able to run it as a Braille display on my win7 machine or might that be problematic?

My vision teacher tried to set it up on my Mac but it never worked via Blutooth, and now that I have Windows she thought it might be a good idea to try it.

By the way, what do you all think about the TTS on all these notetakers? I like Eloquence personally because it's more human-sounding and clearer in my opinion, but a lot of people like the BN's Keynote Gold.  What about the others?
