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

Thu Dec 13 00:10:31 UTC 2018

The one thing I do not like about the orbit reader is that it does not have cursor routing buttons. If you plan to use it in conjunction with a computer that is a big problem to me. I think a computer paired with a braille display is a great option. I am not sure that a notetaker of any type would be appropriate for a seven-year-old.

I've heard this from about 3 or 4 different people, of which one who'll go unnamed was an alpha beta tester of the unit all the way as far back as the initial prototype apparently. Granted, I'm not sure how reliable their information is one way or another. No hard feelings to anyone, just am a bit confused.
