Hi,
As you can see you have a number of choices. It really does depend on how much you want the device to do and what you can afford. Right now my favorite is a mantis Q40 from the American Printing House, APH. It has a qwerty keyboard and a 40 cell braille display. It also has some note taking capabilities, and you can read materials from Bookshare and NFB Newsline. The price if $2,495. APH also has the Chameleon 20. It has a braille keyboard and a 20 cell display. I have not seen one, so I can’t provide any more information. Take care and stay safe!

The Orbit Reader 40 should be out soon. The 20 plus is $699 and I believe the 40 will be $1499. The Orbit displays have the best feeling braille of any display I have used. And in my career as a braille instructor, I handled just about all of them. Of course, it depends on what kind of things you will be doing beyond connecting with the iPhone.

I have a Focus 40 Blue 5th Generation display, and I like it. For my purposes, I don’t use the braille part that much, but I love the control it gives me over my phone. The braille keyboard has a nice feel, and for me it’s much better than using the on-screen keyboard. I looked at the Focus 14, but it displays too little of the text.

My husband and I are very interested in buying some braille displays. And we definitely are going to need two of them and we want some of that work well with our iPhones. We’re trying to find some good prices on them. And also ones that are very reliable and good. What are your favorites?
