Hi Jill.
Thanks for the offer, and if it saves me some money I might as well take
you up on it smile. Even though the manual I can read with the Braille
display is probably the same thing you have in hard copy, it'll still be
nice to have an actual copy in Braille just in case I might want to look up
something and not have to turn on the Braille Note to do it. I'll be
writing you off list with my address so you'll be able to send it when you
have the time.

You will at least have a slot for a flashcard on the side. There will be a
manual that you can read with your 18 cell braille display, but as a
matter of fact, I have a hard copy braille manual that I no longer need
and will be happy to send it to you if you like.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Braille Note questions.
Hi all.
I'm in the
process of getting myself a Braille Note with an 18-cell Braille display
on it from someone on one of my e-mail lists, and I'm trying to find out if I
need to get myself one of those software maintenance agreements like you
get with screen readers like JFW. I'm also trying to figure out how to order
a Braille manual, but I can't find a link to order the manual online from
Humanware, which sells the same thing I'm getting for about $4,400, or
somewhere
around there. I'm only having to pay about $440 for mine, with shipping,
so it's not too bad. I'm not sure what the model of the one I'm getting is,
since there's a Braille Note BT and also one with PK. There's one with a
QT after the Braille Note's name too but I'm assuming that has an actual
typing keyboard like a computer, or like the old Type n Speaks from
Blazie Engineering. I'm assuming these Braille Notes with either the
eighteen or thirty-two
cell Braille displays function similarly to the old Braille Lites that
Blazie sold as well, although I wasn't ever lucky enough to use one. I
had to use
one of the old Braille n Speaks with no Braille display! Come to think
of it I'm not sure how old this unit is, but the person I'm getting it
from says
it's hardly been used. I may have to ask her though and see if it's one
of the newer ones with a slot for a flash card or not. I was looking on
Humanware's
Web site, which is how I even knew they had newer and older units.
Needless to say, this is sort of confusing for me to figure out, and I'm
trying to
decide whether I should wait until I get it in the mail and take a look
at it before I try and get a manual or if I should order one so hopefully I'll
have it when the unit gets here. I think it's either being shipped today
or tomorrow, depending on when the lady can get herself a ride to send it out.
I don't know if I need to call Humanware to order a manual, since you
can't apparently order one separately, unless I'm just looking in the
wrong place.
I did a search in Google for Braille Note and went to the page that
came up, where it listed the 18 and 32-cell models and gave prices for
them. There
were also links for the QT and PK versions, as well as a multilingual
one, and then under those they had the accessories like the carrying case
and manual,
along with prices, but you couldn't click on a link and order one. I
didn't mean for this message to be so long, so I hope you've actually
read this far
into it! I know some of you on these lists use Braille Notes, but I'm
not sure if this is an on topic message, since I don't know what types of
files a Braille Note can read and whether or not you can validate books
with them. If you can, that would be neat for me, because I wouldn't
have to sit at the computer ever time I wanted to validate
something. Again sorry for the long message everyone! I just figured
someone on here might know the answers to these, and once I get it I'm
planning on joining the Braille Note list too.
