"When the company producing the great Forte note-taker w/Text To Speech (TTS) and built-in speaker closed its doors, I was sad.  As an all-in-one portable talking word processor, it had no equal, especially at its low price point.  As I was a contributor to its firmware (on-board software) and an official reseller, people came to me for candidates to replace it.  I suggested the combo of this case/keyboard and a popular simple talking word processor app." RJ :-)
