[Trainer-Talk] Research on reading speed with Braille displays

[Dean Martineau]

I read of a study once that suggested that the shorter line actually
increases speed. I can't recall where it was. I know I was sure I wouldn't
want a 20-cell display, and now that 
I've had one for some time, I don't think I want anything longer; I
definitely don't like a 40 any more.  

Using regular expressions, there are often ways to remove some or all of the
line breaks caused by made-for-paper documents, if one wants to go to the
trouble.

Subject: [Trainer-Talk] Research on reading speed with Braille displays

Hello:

I am planning to purchase a Braille display soon and am curious whether
there has been any research on how the length of a display effects reading
speed. I am looking at a 20 and a 40 cell. I know some documents are
formatted for 40 cells which can be a drawback on a 20 cell display. I am
curious if the smaller size might mean I carry it and use it more, leading
to increased speed.

Thoughts welcome.

Thank you.
