[nabs-l] Purchasing Braille Displays VS. Braille Note taking Devices

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hello,
When I started using note taking devices, I started with a Braille Lite two thousand from 2000-2005.
I then transitioned to a Braille Note mPower from 2005-2011.
Now, when I entered college, I had a choice to make. Either get another note taker, or try a braille display.
I had received an iPhone that same year and decided to try a braille display. I'll tell you now that I own a mac, iPad and iPhone I think I made the best decision. Do I think notetakers have a place? They can. If you really are looking for a notetaker and braille display, then I would suggest getting the Braille Edge from Hyms. It is a Braille display and has some note taking capabilities.
It all comes down to personal choice. I chose a braille display because it's easier for me to just pair via bluetooth or use USB with my devices, than to use flash drives or SD cards.
Good luck.
God bless.
