And looking through the manual for the braillino, and I’m not sure if it was the latest one, I saw a list of file types that you could import to the device using their proprietary program that you install on your PC. The file types listed are both doc and DOCx, plus RTF, HTML, and of course tex

if all you want to do is read it’s worth it because you don’t notice the smaller amount of cells because of the scrolling. I doubt the audio thing drove the price up. I think their displays are just on the expensive side, and IMO it shows. the braille, the feel of everything is the best I’ve eve

Hi, the refreshabraille has the braille above the keyboard, and I personally hated it. I thought it wouldn’t matter to me, but I found it really cumbersome, but that’s just my issue maybe. You may have different results. Holly > On Oct 20, 2018, at 12:11 PM, Traci Duncan wrote: > > Wow! Thank

That auto scroll sounds like the only thing that would make a really small display reasonably usable. I find the whole audio thing kind of not necessary, and I wish it wasn’t included, because maybe the price would be less. 2400 bucks for a 16 sell display is a lot of dollars. Mary Sent from m

the audio isn’t on by default. you have to pair the actilino two ways one for audio and another for the display. they work independently of each other. you never have to activate the audio and it’s just like it’s not there, and yes, it scrolls after you turn it on with a key combination. I love

Wait a sec. Did I read that correctly? Actilino auto scrolls on the iPhone? Now that is very interesting. Does that mean I could turn off all the audio features on the unit? Thank you, Traci Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 20, 2018, at 11:20 AM, alia robinson wrote: > > this is so much better t

this is so much better than auto scroll on the actilino. it moves once your finger gets to the end of a line. it doesn’t move until then, and it works on the iphone! this is a game changer for reading braille for me. I have carpal tunnel. I can’t push that advance button thousands of times, plus

Yes, HIMS now handles Triumph displays and Earl is a part of HIMS, I could have included that info. I did not know someone had taken over the Vario Ultra, though I have to say, I am underwhelmed by that product line. So, I have not gone looking for new info as I personally would never consider
