[Electronics-talk] Braille display recommendations

[Baracco, Andrew W]

I would suggest that you find some way to take a look at them before you
buy. 10 to 12 cells makes the device smaller and cheaper, but you can't
do much reading with so few cells.  You're lucky to get 2 words on a 12
cell display, and the constant advancing will drive you crazy.  Again,
find a way to actually put your hands on one before you buy. If you are
a good Braille reader, I would suggest a minimum of 20 cells.

Howdy,

I want to buy a small (10 to 12  cell) display.  Are some better than
others?  I  would be using it for light duty typing and reading.  I
learned to read and type braille two years ago, and I think having a
display would help me to improve my braille skills.  I will use it with
my iPod Touch.  Your recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
