Hello. I am inviting your participation in an open-ended questionnaire, and the
more who participate, the merrier! If you like, or don't like, the PAC
Mate, or the Braille Note,here's a good chance to add your voice to others.
Sound Computing will shortly feature a head-to-head comparison of Braille Note mPower
and PAC Mate, and later will evaluate Braille Sense. I am seeking
user input. Obviously, the number of mPower users will be small, but even those
of you without the mPower or who have not seen one can take part. I'll
be making my own observations, but also want to hear reactions from as many users
as possible.
Below are some open-ended questions about how you like your pda. Please answer any
or all of them, or just write a message that answers some or all of them. Send your
thoughts to me at
dean@topdotenterprises.com
These questions will be asked of Braille Note, PAC Mate, Braille Sense and other
portable users, hence their generic nature, allowing for maximum flexibility.
Here are some questions; answer what you can and wish to answer. The responses will
be compiled, and anecdotes, if any, will be share anonymously. Add
any comments you feel would be pertinent.
1. Are you pleased with your device?
2. What do you wish your device did that it does not do?
3. What do you like best about your device?
4. What is your feeling about the company that manufactures your device?
5. Have you tried any of the other devices that compete with yours? If so, do you
want it? Why or why not?
6. How has support been for your device, whether technical support, training or
repair?
For PAC Mate users and users of portable devices with screen readers: 7. What off-the-shelf
applications have you used? What has been your experience
with them? Do you still use them?
Since this comparison will appear there, if you want to learn about Sound Computing,
