The MPower will probably not be supported by the newer computers/screen
Readers.
There is perhaps one or two displays with autoscroll, but then you are talking
$2500 or more.

It uses an SD card for reading books, or connects via bluetooth to mobile
devices or computers that have bluetooth, or USB cable to a computer.
I do not know about NVDA, but I believe it works with Jaws, though it may need
to be in a mode where you only get 18 cells unless Freedom Scientific has an
updated driver for it.
You can read more about it by searching for the Orbit Reader user guide on the
American Printing House web site: www.aph.org

Hey guys,
I mostly lurk on this list, however Braille displays are something I've been
interested in purchasing for quite a while now. They're very useful if one is
left without speech, which happened to me a couple months back. it was a
nightmare to fix without one. I'm also interested in reading off a display, as
Braille books are way too bulky. with that said, which would you guys recommend
that's relatively cheap? I've seen the displays go for thousands, which is a
little insane. Is the orbit reader the cheapest display on the market? does it
work with all screen readers like Jaws and NVDA< and does it work on mobile
devices as well? what's the speed on it, and do you guys know of any displays
that will auto scroll? that is, will detect the position of your hands on the
display and scroll accordingly? is that a thing? if not, it definitely should
be. having to press a button repeatedly to scroll is a little crazy. I have a
device with a built in display, really old device, the Braillenote MPower. I've
no idea how to go about connecting the device to a computer though. I think it
used a serial connection if I'm not mistaken, it was a while back. I still have
the device here so if you guys know if those old devices will work, and a way
to use them on modern operating systems, let me know. thanks so much for your
help! tc all

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.

If u don’t want notes to go to I phone, does it have an sd card slot or usb

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.
