Hi Mo,
Unfortunately, it doesn't charge using USB, so you have to use the 19V
charger. I don't like this either, but they claim it fast charges the
battery.
As to the other issues in that thread, most of them are fixed, except the
limitations of capitals not being shown because you only have six dots. But
they are shown if you set your screen reader to contracted Braille. That
is, NVDA will show caps if it does the translation, but if you load a BRF
file as Josh says, then the translation would be in the file, and this is
not a limitation of the Braille Me.
For me personally though, it is better than the Orbit, purely because it has
cursor routing keys, and they work great. And I'm not speaking as a
reseller in that regard, just a user.
Some issues I'd like to see fixed are, you can't navigate the menus using
first letter navigation, so you can only arrow up or down.
You can't say Yes or No to a prompt using letters, you have to use cords,
Backspace+Dot 3 for Yes, and Backspace+Dot 6 for No, these seem odd
combinations.
Other than that, it is working well for me.
I have tried it with NVDA, Android and iOS and it doesn't disappoint.
All the best
Steve

Hi.
This is certainly excellent news. What I am not keen on is the fact that it
needs a specific 19V power supply to charge. Can it be charged via USB like
the orbit for convenience? also, some people may find the following thread
interesting. It's a discussion that took place about the braille me on the
NVDA list a few months ago. Hopefully the company have addressed the issues
mentioned or are planning to do so.
