[Trainer-talk] computers, braille display information

[Dean Martineau]

I can answer a part of your question. If you get a braille display that has no internal memory, you can read bookshare books using the iPhone, also BARD books, or you can read them in braille on your computer. You need a notetaker in order to read books without being connected to any other device. The Perkins Mini-Braille and Braille Edge have internal memory, but no internet capability, so you can copy books to their sd cards and read those books without being connected to another system.

Could I run windows on a mac so I could still use Jaws? Is VoiceOver a good screen reader for a computer? If I purchase a Braille display, can I read Braille books from nls and Bookshare, or would I still need a traditional notetaker? Thank you.
