[nabs-l] Braille Displays and Notetakers

Thu May 11 15:27:12 UTC 2017

Jordan, that's great about you getting a touch.  I really like my
touch.  I think another aspect about notetakers, and braille displays
is to consider what is good for one person might not be good for
someone else.  I decided to buy my touch because I feel the touch is
the best device that will best suit my specific needs and wants in a
notetaker.  While someone else might want a different notetaker or use
a combo of braille display and eyephone.<div
