[nfb-talk] Caveat, do not buy yet. FW: HIMS Introduces the All-New QBraille XL

Hello, List,

 

New HIMS notetaker announcement below my message.

 

Just my opinion, for what it is worth.

 

HIMS has been known for its quality of product, and I have been using their products since 2013, and have been a very happy customer, until the Polaris.

 

This device has great potential, but since my acquisition of the Polaris in February, I am finding a mediocre device that has great potential but a long way to go in fixing major bugs.

 

They also have been promising to upgrade the older U2 generation of devices, but this has not come to pass.  Since February, they have had two major updates, plus a security patch in April, so they are obviously working hard to fix the bugs, but not there yet.

 

Yet, here comes another new device with shiny promises.  The ideas are great, but as a consumer, I question the quality now, that I would not have done in the past.  Have they bitten off more than they can chew?

 

Ask some serious questions, and hold off purchasing until you can have a length of time to test personal use.  Just a caveat.

 

Judy

Introducing the All-New QBraille XL

 


QBraille XL braille notetaker

 



A Unique Blend of a Perkins Keyboard and QWERTY Function Keys

 



QBraille XL represents an entirely new type of Braille display. The 40-cell QBraille XL replaces modifier keys and special keystrokes with intuitively placed function, application, and system keys that you find on your standard QWERTY keyboard. With the QBraille XL, Alt+F4 means pressing Alt+F4.

Intuitive Productivity

The groundbreaking combination of Braille and QWERTY function keys means you no longer need your laptop keyboard, letting you get more done in less time.

 

Use QBraille XL’s arrow keys to navigate across tables, or use the dedicated control, shift, and arrow keys to quickly select text.

 

QBraille XL save seconds with every command, minutes with every task, and hours with every project.
