Thanks everyone for your suggestions: I will probably go for the Brailliant
Bi14 as it sounds like it is what I am looking for.
Just out of interest Jacky, what makes it preferable in your opinion to the
Focus as I believe you do have the Focus 40 like me.
If preferable, reply to me offlist.
Mandy.

Hi Mandy
Of the smaller displays, I would recommend either a Focus or, more favourably,
the Brailliant BI14. I have this display and really love it. It connects
seamlessly with my iPhone when using it for those occasions, and I like the
interaction with the Notes app which synchronises them nicely. There is the
Esys range and Hims Smart Beetle, but with all those options at my disposal, it
would be either a Focus or Bi14.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Subject: [access-uk] Small Braille Displays.
Hi All.
Next year I hope to have a little money at my disposal so am thinking of
treating myself to a small Braille display.
I use my Focus 40 extensively and really enjoy it and so I could buy the Focus
14 but am wondering what else is on the market.
The Brailliant has been suggested to me and I see it costs £800 and something,
I am considering that one and would request a demo, I know exactly what I want
from a display and would compare it to the Focus.
I want something as quiet as possible both for reading and writing: I do not
want either the BrailleMe nor the Orbit.
Any suggestions with reasons for the choices in view of what I have said?
A simple notetaker would be useful as with the scratchpad on the Focus and
perhaps the facility to convert text files although reading books is not so
necessary with such a small display: really it is mainly for taking when I am
away and would be used only with my Apple products for texting and emailing
with, as I said, perhaps the functions of notetaking and reading books as a
lesser consideration.
Mandy.
