Sorry, I meant to be rather more constructive as well. Have you thought of taking a look at the recycling list to see if there’s anything around on there or indeed posting to it and asking if anyone has a braille display for sale?

Yes Alison, and by the way, they’re not the most expensive. But I’m afraid that in this area, that’s the way the braille cookie crumbles.

Hi Alison,
Depends on your budget. The Orbit is OK, but noisy.
I use, but I also sell, the VarioUltra 20 and 40 displays. I love those, they are so quiet as well. They work well on both Android and iOS.
Angie uses the Mantis from Humanware, because it has a QWERTY keyboard.
Depends on what you prefer really.
All the best
Steve

I’m pretty sure my Braille Edge 40 has died and am eager not to be without a note-taker for too long.
I use my note-taker both as a braille display for the computer and my iPhone as well as a word processor.
What would folk recommend? What about the Orbit?
Alison
