Linux note taker

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Actually, a laptop is usually a better notetaker than anything that these
money-hungry companies are offering.  A simple braille 'n speak is $1395.
I psid $809 for a fairly laptop and put linux on it using speakup when I
want to use hardware speech, and yasr when I don't want to carry around my
dectalk.  And I am getting $200 more off that.  In my opinion, notetakers
for the blind are greately overpriced, and laptops that run Linux are a
much more cost-effective choice.

Sigh.  I like to think it's just the Linux people who want to be on
the "leading edge" so bad they walk right off the precipice.
