Jackie,
It just sounds perfect.
I am definitely going ahead with it.
A friend of mine told me that in the USA the National Federation of the Blind has a centre where all products are on display, not for sale just to look at.
I think we should push for one of these in the UK.
Regards Kevin

Hi Jeff

The newest of the Alva range to my knowledge is the BC640 or BC680.  The
latter is the one I have. It is far superior to any other display I've used
before, and I bear no disrespect to those that have gone before me.

The Alva runs on USB or Bluetooth. It is also plug and play, you just hook
it up to your PC, turn it on, and it is recognised.  It also works
brilliantly on the Mac. You can do things like split the display so half of it reads say your Word document, and the other half could say read what your
phone says.

If you aren't sure, contact Optelec at

Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Have decided to get an eighty of the above, only to discover that there are
two, the new one, to me, is the "satellite."
What is different about this?
