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

[Kerryann Ifill]

Hi,

I’ve never liked the 40 cell as I move around a lot and space is always at a premium.

That being said, I currently own a 20 cell and an older 32 cell. The 32 is my ultimate length for reading. I often read bible lessons in church and use my 20b cell for speeches as well. Fluency, accuracy and speed are important and I don’t find an issue with the 20 cell.

regards
Kerryann Ifill

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.
