Hi John, thanks for the comments. I haven't heard anyone say bad things about
Notex yet. I am becoming more and more convinced that it would be a nice
device for some people. I sure do enjoy using braille instead of speech. I
still believe that the Braille 'N Speak is the most practical and useful
device on the market but I never have liked using speech. I know that speech
devices are cheaper and faster to use for some things but theres nothing quite
like having materails there in front of you to read. I have started
downloading lots of textfiles from the pc to the Notex to read them. I used to
do that with speech of course but I think my comprehension just about doubles
when I read thing in braille. What complaints if any did you have with the
Notex. I like hearing the good things but I'm sure there are things about it
you'd change if you had the chance. I'd really like to know about the
complaints also. I will be submitting a report of suggestions for future
upgrades so let me know what you'd like to see added.
Tommy
