Hi Petrina,
Just to say that it might be considered to be expensive, but 995 pounds
makes it probably the cheapest Braille display around. It can also be used
with a computer screen reader. Both Window-Eyes and JAWS support it, and I
believe Hal does too.
All the best

Hi Ray,
Firstly let me correct you, the Bookworm is an 8 character display, and not
one. I am not very good at giving reviews on things Ray, so all I will say,
is that it is like anything, that you buy new it takes a bit of getting used
to. But once you do it is really great. I know that it is a bit expensive,
but in my opinion it is worth every penny. And I have to say that I have
used it more than my Road runner.
All the best
Petrina,

> Hello Patrina. Glad someone seems to think as I do regarding the
preferability of Braille output over speech for reading novels. I just
wondered if you would mind telling us how you find the bookworm to use? Did
it take long to get accustomed to a one character display?
