Hi Olusegun, the issue isn't that the BrailleNote needs a voltage converter built into it. The issue is the power supply we include with the device. The North American power supply was, for some time, not dual voltage. The one shipped in the rest of the world will handle both 120 and 240 volts, I use it all the time all over the world. The newer power supplies that have two pieces are also dual voltage, so all you need is a simple power plug adaptor to fit over the end. Jonathan Mosen BrailleNote Product Marketing Manager HumanWare

Desktop PC's have a switch that changes the voltage from 110V to 220V and all you do is just push a small button in the appropriate direction. I always wonder why notetakers sold in the U.S. don't always come as dual voltage especially when you factor in the $6-thousand-plus one pays for one.
