[Trainer-Talk] Braille Note taker for 7-year-old

Wed Dec 12 21:34:39 UTC 2018

Hello.
Yes, the Orbit Reader 20 has a pretty good notetaker and if the child breaks it by mishandling it, a replacement is as cheap as it can be at $449. Hopefully time he is 11 or 12, the braille display market will have come up with a better set of options that doesn't stink so much. I can honestly say at this point that none of them are something I would drop money on. I've tried the qBraille, and my position is unchanged. I guess the key now is to find out which shortcomings you can tolerate more than others.

Best,

Scott
