Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch There are some issues in here that do look a little absurd, but I'm not saying they are false. I'd like to point out to the battery whiners though, you're not putting your Polaris into a deep sleep, it helps with battery drainag

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch honestly, half the issues people seem to have with the polaris I have never experienced. The battery seems to last quite a while for me, especially if I turn bluetooth and wifi off when i'm not using them. I've also had the polaris s

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch Hi guys.So, i purchased the polaris back in october 2017, and it worked fine.Then I started to notice that the bugs weren't beeing addressed in a timely manner.I was told on multiple occasions that Hims has quite a reputation for releasin

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch Well, I haven't had the battery issue, or notepad deleting stuff but  I have had some other issues with editing where if you try to put your cursor after a new line character it won't let me. Or, in emsil, i have to leave a message a

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch Sorry for bringing this topic back, but here comes my list of Polaris issues. I've never used the Touch, but I've used the Apex sometimes and I think it's much better than the Polaris. The U 2, which came before the Polaris, was

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch @Ty, can you explain that a little bit more? Why does the display hurt your fingers, and what does the keyboard do that's so bad? I gave you a thumbs-up for your post. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/464774/#p464774 -- Audio

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch The orbit reader? no, no, and... um, no? The cells on that thing hurt my hands personally, and the keyboard fucks with me too. If you want a nice cheep display, i'd go for something like the humanware brailliant 14, witch i got on sail for

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch @13. Yes, I just checked. The Canadian price is different... $7095, which after exchange rates is actually cheaper than the US price of $5695. Still, holy s! URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/464679/#p464679 -- Audiogames

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch Hello.Going off topic here, what have your experiences been with the orbit reader 20? I thought I'd look into getting one since the price is a little more reasonable. At the website they sing it's praises, but I'd like

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch Of course you could do it. But it would require them to make mods for different types of tablets, unless they did it specifically for google branded tablets. And the display cells are still what would drive the price up, unless they wanted to

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch You'd have to make some actual physical mods to have the tablet latch into the case to 1, keep it secure, and 2, be able to connect as a braille display and keyboard. Doable, but not without some slight customizations. Also, stay tuned, a

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch Just so you know the version of android on the braille note touch plus is 8.0 I have a tablet that is running 9.0 and I think you could make a case for it and a braille display kind of like the touch also you can use a usb C hub to add some of

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch I was thinking that could be done for the Pixel Slate, i.e a braille display docking station. Only, it would have to have to have some slight physical mods in order for it to be a snug fit, and an actual Android firmware with their keysoft

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch Yeah... that would be a pipe dream. They wouldn't do that because then it drives down their own profits... I can't believe the touch plus is $8000. For a bloody tablet... URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/46430

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch The touch plus is definitely more up to contemporary specs. Other than the form factor of the Pollaris, there's nothing keeping me on this particular device other than the fact that it is what I have at the moment. Kind of wishing I'

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch So while the polaris at the time had supgior specs to the original Touch, the Touch Plus completely changed this around, with a newer version of Android to boot. Comparing that to Him's stance of if it ain't broken or breaking, don&#x

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch I just got the braille note touch plus, and I did have some of the problems you listed with the regular touch, I don't with the plus. Now one thing I really do like about the polarius is that it has a mini version, ahem... Humanware

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch I've been looking for a way to get one of these for a while through a grant for work, but I'm glad I held off on getting one with all the questionable reports I've heard.  I hope things improve, as I use a lot more braille now

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch

Re: BrailleSense Polaris Vs. BrailleNoteTouch I haven't had any of the afore-mentioned issues you've mentioned. But I also haven't used my Polaris 24/7 yet, so I may just not be running into them yet. But I think if I could find a good deal for the Polaris or some way to
