[Trainer-Talk] Longer "smart" Braille displays

[Marci Duty]

Robert and fellow trainers. Here is the manual for the
QBraille  XL. I just purchased this device and also like the
DAISY reader and calculator features. 
I like that Alt F4 is alt F4 and that the unit has a context
key and arrow cross. I can switch between my laptop and
iPhone with a two key combination.  

I have assisted many deaf blind individuals with HIMS
products. I was surprised to read Scott's report, but can
only work to improve service. 
Here is the manual. 


Success and make this a winning week!

Hello:

     I suggest the QBraille XL by Hims. The QBraille has 40
cells can connect via USB or Bluetooth, has basic notetaking
capabilities etc.

Regards,

Robert

Good morning, list,

I'm hoping to find a so-called smart Braille display for a
student-one longer than 20 cells so he can read at length.
We'd like it just to have some kind of text editor for
jotting notes, and the capability of accessing BRF files on
its own. He doesn't need a full-fledged note taker since he
already has other devices with similar features for
accessing the internet, word processing, etc.

The only semi-appropriate displays I can find that are still
being sold are the Braille Edge and the Focus 5th Gen. The
Edge hasn't been updated in many years, though, and I've
heard that the Focus scratchpad might need some work. Am I
missing something, or are these really the only ones out
there?
Neither seems like an ideal choice. I think the Brailliant
BI 32 would be a great size, but of course it doesn't have
the extra features, and I heard there's a firmware bug that
can prevent it from working with Macs. The student uses a
MacBook Air and an iPad.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone with
thoughts/options.

Thanks,,
Jessie Mabry
