I am totally blind, and I am interested in archiving rare software such as old screen readers and speech synthesizers. I am also an audio and mythology nerd.
@dhamlinmusic @evilcookies98 @main @mastoblind @NoahCarver That is a great deal, considering how much those units cost when they were new. I wonder what version of KeySoft they are running, and if they contain junk from previous users. Let me tell you, some friends of mine have found some really hilarious things on some of these devices.
@evilcookies98 @main @mastoblind @NoahCarver That is me, otherwise I wouldn’t have 2 mPower’s, a PAC Mate Omni, and a bunch of other random tech I acquired over the years.
@evilcookies98 @main @mastoblind @NoahCarver That really sucks. The mPower was one of the best BrailleNote models in my opinion.
@evilcookies98 @NoahCarver @main @mastoblind Furthermore, the upgrade path from the Apex or older wasn’t smooth to say the least. For example, if you had KWB or KWT documents that you wanted on your Touch, there wasn’t any way to convert them into a mainstream format if you didn’t have access to any of the older BrailleNote models. Also, putting the software on an SD card without providing a way to re image the card if it got corrupted was a frankly stupid decision.
@evilcookies98 @NoahCarver @dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind That is great.
