I used a Braille 'n Speak when I visited the USA a while back (about a year
ago) and when I was on the aircraft I did a bit of work. There was a small
audience and the people were intrigued about what the B&S could do.
However, I shut it down when we were touching down in Miami.
At this point, I am looking for a machine which will work like the Braille &
Speak but will also be able to send and receive messages and work with other
applications. Not a laptop computer. Any suggestions?

Subject: [Blind-Computing] A question about a Braille 'n Speakand flying
Dear Friends,
I do not have a Braille 'n Speak, but a friend does and is worried about
taking it on a airplane with her, getting it past Security I suppose with
them perhaps damaging it.
Please read her message below.
Can some one please give me some advice I can pass on to her?
Thanks so much!
With Best Regards,

Alan, i am leaving for Florida on June 27. I have never taken my Braille
'n Speak with me on the plane. Would you ask some of your blind friends
if they are going to give me any trouble at security? Also will they do
anything to the device? Any other issues your friends might know about as
I will be traveling alone. I will fly non stop to Orlando which is a
help. Any assistance you can provide will be very helpful and
appreciated.
