can u leave notes on brailliant forever?  How much storage space on it?  If u 
don’t want notes to go to I phone, does it have an sd card slot or usb port 
where u could transfer files from brailliant to other device?

Hey Anthony, 

To answer your questions.

1. Yes it can be used as a stand alone notetaker. The interesting part of this 
function is there is two modes for the Brailliant
A. Bluetooth mode - this is when the device is connected to the iPhone or iPad. 
This will allow you to use the Braille display to control every aspect of the I
Device. So you could use the iDevice and another app for note taking tasks.

B. Offline mode - This allows you to use the device as a stand alone notetaker. 
There is a simple interface to navigate files, and there is a clock and stop 
watch in this mode as well. 

Note - To switch between these modes there is a physical switch on the back of 
the device. To sync the notes that have been taken with the notetaker functions 
you will have to flip the switch on the back of the device to bluetooth mode 
and the braille display will sync with the companion app on your iOS device. 
You must be signed in with an iCloud account or Gmail account to have it sync. 
If you are signed in with your iCloud account it will sync notes with the Notes 
application that is now on all of Apple's operating systems. You then can edit, 
print or view them from your iPad, iPhone and Mac. It’s a really cool feature. 
All of your notes that are saved in the Notes Application will be synced back 
and forth between your iDevices and the Brailliant 14. This is the feature that 
really sells me on the device.

  Hi Ed;
  Does the brailliant 14 have note taking capabilities? If it does notcan you 
use notetaking capabilities on the iPhone as a substitute?  Also,is there 
anyway to put files on the brailliant 14 so that it could possibly be used as a 
standalone device? thank you Anthony

    Hello, 

    I am a HumanWare Brailliant 14 user and I love it. Before I had the 
Brailliant 14 I was using the Freedom Scientific Focus 14 (This was on loan 
from a program in my state). I found this braille display to have amazing 
braille but there were just simply too many buttons on the device. I am loving 
the simplicity of the Brailliant 14. As you said in your email every person has 
their preferences for braille displays.

      We have an orbit reader and absolutely love it. It has no fancy bells and 
whistles but displays Braille beautifully and pairs beautifully with phones so 
I hear though we don't do that. It won't scroll but will take any braille file 
you put in it.

      Hello Lelia. My condolences.
       
      I have a Brailliant 14 for my phone. You do have to pan, and since It 
only has 14 cells, the speech is usually ahead of how fast the Braille 
displays. But I really like it. I tried the new BrailleMe from a company in  
India and could never get it to pair with the phone. I have seen a demo of 
something called El Braille from Freedom Scientific, or whatever they are 
calling themselves now, and it is really cool---it's a Windows 10 tablet 
dressed up to look like a notetaker.
       
      But on my desktop I use an Alva Satellite 570,  which I bought used. So I 
am not the source of the latest and greatest. Of course the Alva will have 
nothing to do with the phone. (grin)
       
      Hope you can find something that will work well for you. Braille with the 
computer has become so essential to me that I can't imagine trying to do 
without it.
       
      Susie

      Well, this is a very sad day. My braille display said goodbye to me. I 
shocked it and I shocked it goodbye. So there is a few things that I am 
wondering, do  any braille displays automatically pan to the next page or line 
or do you have to manually do that with all of them? Another thing I’m 
wondering is if anyone has used many braille displays which do you think is the 
best for you?  I do realize that what is best for one is it best for all. I am 
just wondering.
