How do the prices compare between Braillant BI 32 and Braille Sense 32? Anyone
using less cell displays, such as 16 or 12 cell?

I'm using a Brailliant BI 32 from Humanware with an iPhone 5 and it works,
well, brilliantly. I know from an industry source that apple do a lot of
ongoing consultation with blind techies to iron out bugs. for instance, it
used to be necessary to input Braille at very high speed in order to obtain
accurate results. this now seems to be much less the case.
