ATW are funding your equipment, and that equipment has been recommended by your assessor, you are perfectly entitled to ask your assessor to look again at the braille display recommendation if you don't feel happy with what they have recommended.

see i would go for an alva but it is access to work paying not me On 26 Jan 2011, at 15:51, Jackie Cairns wrote:The Focus 80 is different Eleanor. For starters, it's much bigger, as you would expect, and it's very heavy too. For me personally, and I know a band of us agree, the Alva and Handytech displays are the business, but obviously cost more. And after the way FS decided to handle their driver signing to force people into looking at other options, I would never give them my moneyfor a new one. I'm just being honest, no offence meant, it's what I feel and believe in my heart.

An 80 cell is much better in myopinion on a PC.And if you want a recommendation, go for the Alva BC680 from Optelec. It has USB and Bluetooth, and can do all sorts of nice things like allow you to split the display so you have a portion of it for what is on your PC screen using USB, and another portion connected via Bluetooth to your phone. I'm not saying you would always want to do that, I certainly don't, but it's a feature. And I have to say theBraille on the Alva is second to none.Kind Regards, Jackie Cairns J&M Work-Ability jandm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.work-ability.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of william lomas Sent: 26 January 2011 12:42 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] braille display hi all does anyone know, is an 80 cell display just 1 huge line of braille please, or is it 2 physical lines of 40 characters?
