Now I'm really debating whether to go with the Refreshabraille 18 or the
Orbit reader 20.

to all,
i have refreshabraille 18 and i enjoy using it.
somehow, refreshabraille is under baum inc right now. i was told that baum
filed bankruptcy and i don't know how long it wil resume back on. since both
refreshabrialle and vario ultra 20 are under baum, they are good brands.

Since the refreshabraille was mentioned, I checked to see what the price
is now. It is the same as always, $1695 for 18 cells, no internal memory or
stand-alone functions.
Orbit Reader, $449 for 20-cells and an SD card for onboard storage. Both
getting good reviews now.

The BI-14 has 8GB of on board storage and there is a local mode for

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.

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.
