[nfbcs] braille display recommendations

[williamsturgell at gmail.com]

     Hi Taylor,
     I too am an on coming freshman who plans to major in Computer Science, and recently went through the process of choosing a braille display that I thought would be beneficial for the type of tasks I would need one for. After doing some research, I ended up going with the Focus 40 Blue 5th Generation. It works like a charm, and has extra buttons that allows for more options for commands. You can have it connected to five different devices, and switch between them without having to go through a paring process (which is really convenient), and it has a built in note taker built in, and you can move notes back and forth from your computer to the display. If you have BARD, you can also download books right to the display from your computer as well. 

     I guess my advice, for what it's worth, would be to purchase a 40 cell model of which ever display you decide to go with. Personally, I think that anything smaller is going to be a pain to deal with when reading code in braille.

     Good luck!
     William

Subject: [nfbcs] braille display recomendations

Hi,
I am in the market for a braille display, and looking for recommendations. I am a college student studying computer science, and I  am a freshman.  I would be using it for computer science related tasks, and class work for other classes.  I don’t think I need something as  advanced as a note taker, because I have a main laptop for class work and word processing.
Any recommendations would be amazing as there are so many out there and I don’t know what to choose.
