Both can do transferring of files between the device and your PC. Both have onboard storage of 8GB, and both use SD cards and USB for pens or external drives. Both have WiFi and Bluetooth built into the machine, and both have 32 Braille cells, least the BrailleSense does. The ouch part is cost, of course. No Braille devices come in cheap, so you would be better getting a thorough demonstration before you decide what to go for. I have the BrailleSense, so would be able to give you a bit more detail about it if you want to write me off list. Alternatively, you could go for a small stand-alone Braille display with a basic note-taker function within it. The Esys, or the Alva BC640 both have basic note-taking functionality, and both connect to your PC to use as out and out Braille displays. The Alva BC640 connects to Apple devices. But again, cost is an ouch!

One that will save files and let me transfer them to computers, windows right now, but apple looks so attractive. Any tips.
