The Braillelite is an out dated note taker made by Freedom Scientific. Their 
current note taker with refreshable Braille display is the Pac Mate Omni. I 
have one of these with a forty cell refreshable Braille display. I use Grade 
2 Braille for all of my input, output,  and all of my reading. Since Braille 
books consist of many volumes, it is difficult to carry around an entire 
book. With a Pacmate, I have a secure digital card that stores a few 
thousand Braille books with no difficulty. I think it is the greatest piece 
of technology after Braille itself. Since these units are expensive, I will 
let someone who uses a Braillenote explain that Notetaker. The Braillenote 
is made by Humanware.
