Hi Mandy,

I only used the Braille Note at work as a note taker and transferred files and used the calendar, tasks etc. I have connected it to a PC and used it as a refreshable display. I think I connected the serial cable to one of the comm ports and then used Active sync to connect. I used JAWS with the BN and you need to go into the settings under braille and select the *BN as the braille display. Unfortunately the braille display on my BN started to not work and after it was repaired several times it was replaced with the PacMate which I am still using at work.*On 25/04/2012 22:38, Mandy wrote:

Hi Chris.

Thanks so much for this -- I haven't looked yet but I know it will be useful.

To use the BrailleNote as a Braille display with the laptop do I need to install drivers I am using JAWS and it does say JAWS is supported -- also how easy is it to use internet and email?

Hi,

To write the sign in braille:-

Press dots 2, 3, 4  and 6 together with the enter key (dot 8.

I used to have a Braille Note 40 at work and produced my own notes; attached.

Hope this maybe of use?

I have purchased a second-hand BrailleNote and am gradually getting to grips with it -- unfortunately it is not the one discussed in the user guide as it has only an 18 cell display and doesn't have the wheel referred to with arrow keys either but I do think it has internet and email capabilities although I am unsure as yet whether I need to purchase a network card: perhaps someone with more knowledge can assist?

I am compiling my addresses and want to include email: how do I input the at sign? Someone told me it is the T H E sign with dot 8 but I have only six Braille writing keys so how do I achieve this please?

Mandy.
