I'm not sure who is actually building the Refreshabraille now. APH has always
been the seller in the US, but Baum built/designed the hardware.
Since the Orbit Reader has two more braille cells, and a user replaceable
battery, I think today it is the better choice.

Yes. the charger was hard to put back in if you somehow removed it. But
apparently they are making one with a removable charger. My friend has one of

Only thing I didn't like was the charging port was awkward and hard to put the
charger in. I think mine was older though. I didn't think they were being made
any longer. The Braille was OK not as sharp as the Orbit though.

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.

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.
