Hi,
We are resellers for the EuroBraille range, see http://www.eurobraille.com
<http://www.eurobraille.com/> . There is a 12 or 40 cell model. They work
well with JAWS, and also work wirelessly via Bluetooth.
Any questions, feel free to contact me.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] which braille display?
Hi all:
My powerbraille 80 is getting a bit war damaged so before I get it serviced
I'm doing a bit of a trawl of the Braille display market to see what's
around, and considering if it's time to update.
What is good at present?
If I'm going to get a new one I would want to get something portable so 30
to 40 characters, probably with wireless connection, and that works well and
reliably with Jaws.
I don't need a portable notetaker or the ability to input Braille from the
display although the capacity to take very shord notes on an instant on
device does have some appeal.
Price isn't too important although I would want to feel the product was
decent value for money for it's quality and performance.
Some of the handytech range seem to fit the bill but if the website is to be
believed there is only one UK supplier. And the latest alvas looked good
when I had some chance to use them last year but I don't think there is any
uk supplier of these.
What do you use, what is good and bad about it, and who supplies it?
Or, if you're a supplier, what would you recommend and why, and how can I
try the product out.
Off list at Adrian.higginbotham@xxxxxxxxxxxx if you prefer especially as
such commercial detail might be considered as advertising if posted to the
list.
Thanks.
