Well, a macbook or iOS device paired with a braille display seems to be a good solution for those solid in their braille skills. I only say that because there are sometimes odd grade 2 translation problems you have to know about and be ready to deal with, so those learning braille may not want to do this. Still, I find myself using my bn only for wordprocessing, the calculator, and the book reader, and the Braille Edge has those built into it (and is $2700 for 40 cells). Pair that with a mainstream solution and you have quite the team for getting things done. On Aug 1, 2012, at 7:19 PM, Richard Fiorello <[email protected]> wrote:
