I certainly agree with your statement.

Hi.
The brailliant display has in my opinion much better braille cells. The
brailliant has a much better carrying case, it can not fall out, the focus can
fall out of the bag. You can have the brailliant display sitting on your knees,
that can be a little insecure with the focus. There are some advantages with
the focus as well, but to me the braille cells seems noisy.
I sometimes wonder why most blind people are choosing 40 cells braille
displays. I feel much better with something like 32 cells, and it is a little
more handy too.
The only thing I do not like about brailliant is that I sometimes experience
problems with the bluetooth conectivity on IPhone, but maybe that has been
solved on IPhone 5, it looks like there has been some improvements in IOS 6.
I am both using brailliant and focus. It is important that your student tries
the displays, because it is so different how the display works for individuals.
Best regards Annie.

Marianne,
I strongly recommend the Focus since your student is a Jaws user.
There are definite user advantages to using the Focus with Jaws such as
being able to set the level of Braille firmness. This is one of my favorite
features.
I also like the ability to reverse the Braille panning directions on the
Focus. I am not certain if this is a Focus specific setting in Jaws, but it
is definitely a proverbial game changer for me.

Scott, I think I have narrowed it down to either the Brailliant 40 or Focus
40. Since he uses JAWS the Focus 40 may be the better choice.
That is what I am hoping to learn.

Hello out there.
I just bought a new braille display, and so far I like it. It is new
to the Mac and IOS devices. I got the Braille Edge 40 this past
weekend. The inputs are actually doing better than I was having with
my Focus 40. I didn't have ghluetooth before, and I do not now. This
display also can be a stand-alone device. It doesn't go on the
Internet like say my PacMate in theory does, but I decided I didn't need
that, what with having the Mac and the iPhone.
So far the only thing I'm having is loosing connection with the iPhone
and having to re-establish it. This only has happened when I turn the
Braille display off or get out of communication with the iPhone. I may
have to inquiffe about that. It doesn't lose contact while operating
so far, and I didn't have the same problem with the Mac. I've only had
it since Friday, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. If anybody has
any ideas, please let me know.
Regards,
Gigi

Do you have any braille displays in mind? Humanware has some. So
does Freedom Scientific.

This is a cross post because I hope for several responses. I am
purchasing a braille display for an elementary student. This
student has excellent skills with access technology. The student
will be using it with an IDevice and a Mac running OS 10 and Windows
7. JAWS is the screen reader on Windows. I want a portable display
but not too small so I am looking at a 32 cell display or a 40 cell
display.
Please let me know your experiences. The student uses a Braillenote
too.
