Thank you Roger, One situation where I've been thinking a Braille display might help me is in the classroom. I'm a university student and spend lots of time in class listening to the professor in one ear and VO in the other. I'm wondering if a Braille display can improve my classroom experience. For example, do folks find it easier to follow along in an e-textbook during class by listening to VO or by reading the braille output? I see that many braille displays also offer some sort of input methods. Do these input methods make it any quicker and / or easier to navigate various resources on the computer or iPhone?
I was intentionally vague in my original email as this whole Braille concept is still very new to me and I'm interested in hearing of the various ways folks use these displays in their daily lives. I've read a fair amount of the sales literature and the few device-specific reviews online, but most of those seem to assume the reader knows all about Braille and what a braille display is for.
