[Trainer-talk] Braille display questions

[Vencer Cotton]

Hi Sarah, I absolutely love my Refreshabraille from APH. I use it with my 
Iphone to access the Life Church Bible app. It has 18 cells, cursor routing 
buttons and great action and response. I also have used the Braille pen and 
find it to be a wonderful option if you need to be more frugal. Not only do 
you get 6 more cells with the Refreshabraille 18, you get USB capability 
which gives you the option of using it with your computer if it doesn't have 
bluetooth for about $700 more. I find that when writing on the Braille Pen, 
it is very noisy and that is mostly because it is constructed of plastic 
where the APH device is a sturdy metal frame on top and a plastic bottom and 
very responsive action.
Just my piece on it.

HTH

Subject: [Trainer-talk] Braille display questions

Good morning everyone. I purchased a Pac Mate Omni QX440  last October. I 
recently upgraded to the iPhone and find I really don’t need the Omni 
anymore. Should I keep the Omni, or can I do some of the same tasks with a 
Braille display? Is it possible to read BRF files with a Braille display and 
Jaws? Do most Braille displays support the iPhone? Is there a device that 
offers iPhone Braille support that I could also use at church to read my 
bible that is a BRF file? The Omni is too big to take to church. Is there a 
way to use Microsoft Office 2007 with I devices, or should I still use Jaws 
and my desktop computer to create these documents? Feel free to email me off 
list. Thank you.
    Sarah
