Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display? (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Some people have trouble plugging the USB cable into the Refreshabraille, but there's a technique that helps much with this. I had a Braille Pen for a while, but returned it because it just wasn't engineered well, it had a long joystick and was just generally clunky. Not sure about the small Freedom Scientific displays, but I like the APH Refreshabraille 18, it's ruggedly constructed and has a very long battery life. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of East, Robin Sent: Friday, June 13, 2014 8:42 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display? (UNCLASSIFIED)
Stephan, The Braille Pen that you had, was it the 12 Touch? Since the BP 12 T is over $300 less than the Freedom scientific and is less than a third of the weight, I have been seriously considering it. However, your comments regarding its clunkiness and poor construction are very caussionary. I would really like to hear more about your experiences with your Braille Pen! Thank you very much for righting to let me know about your experiences!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display? (UNCLASSIFIED)
I have a Refreshabraille and its great! The only problem I've had is JAWS. JAWS and the Refreshabraille simply do not get along. However, if you're going to be using this with IOS devices, its great! Oh, and as far as the usb thing, its a pain to connect it to the refreshabraille, but with a little tinkering you can do it. I just leave the cable attached wherever I go even though I usually don't use it via USB. Its better for keeping things together too anyway.

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Refreshabraille 18 by APH would be a good choice. You can connect via USB or Bluetooth, and it's a dumb display.
