    Hi Ian, 

 

Thanks for your thoughts. I was thinking about using it as a Br 

aille display for my laptop, and like you as a 

stand alone Braille device for taking notes and reading. 

All the best

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.
