I bought this through Access To work thinking it would do several things for 
me.  first, act as a Braille display for my iDevices and second, work ass a 
stand alone Braille device for taking notes and reading.  It worked quite well 
as a Braille display and input device with my iPhone/iPad.  It also would have 
been fine as a personal Braille note taker,though the notes would not have 
transferred to other computers.  But it was as a Braille electronic reader that 
it really disappointed.  The Braille translation was unbelievably bad and the 
word/line wrap was equally terrible.  If I were you and you wanted it for 
anything more than an iPhone Braille display, I'd ask to have it on trial.  I 
sent mine back and went with a Braille Sense U2 Mini.  But that is three times 
more expensive.
