Hi Will
We spoke about this at Sight Village, and it is something we are looking
at. No promises at this stage, but what really helps is customer feedback.
We have a very effective system of capturing and responding to customer
feedback. Anecdotal evidence just doesn't cut it when you're making a
business case where the first questions asked are how much, how many
customers etc. So, I would urge people to ring the Helpline.
We expect the Braille Sense 18 to be available in the UK early September.
The price will be £2995 ex VAT and comes with a years talking newspaper
and talking book subscription, whether you buy from us, or our
distributors; Computer Room Services and Force 10.
Thanks
Alison

well why bother developing the tech when no one except those in jobs can
afford it

Its a problem with most assistive tech but if we go at it like that
nothing will ever be developed. Worth remembering though that it does
have an 18 cell Braille display and they aren't cheap and probably never
will be.

display. It has the power of the Braille Sense notetakers, and comes
with a GPS receiver, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a compass all built into one
small, ergonomic unit. It also includes four GB of built-in memory, an
SD card slot, and USB OTG port. An external LCD display is an option.
Although we have no firm date on shipping, the preliminary estimate is
