I had an RB 18 for a while, and liked it a lot, except for the funky USB 
connection, but I understand that this has been corrected in current model.  
it's a solidly built device, and one neat thing about it is that you can use it 
facing either way.

  I have a Brailliant BI 32 that I use for school purposes but I'm looking for 
a braille display for home. I've noticed the Brailiant BI 32 would freeze when 
using my iDevices especially when the display isn't fully charged. I was going 
to get another refreshabraille 18 but I don't know if I want that one anymore.

    I’m not Ed, but here’s what I know. The Brailliant 14 does not have a space 
for an SD card, so you can’t read your stored .brf files on it. It does have a 
program for synching with the phone to take notes; I haven’t tried this yet.



    The only complaint I have about my Brailliant 14 is that the routing 
buttons do not always do what I expect them to do. It’s not an actual button; 
it’s like an embedded switch and you slide your finger into it to activate it. 
Sometimes it works. 



    Since I actually own two BrailleNote Apexes, I didn’t need the Brailliant 
to take notes and read books and such.

    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.
