Hi there If I had it to do over again, I would wait a while before getting any of the focuses. First of all, you have to use Windows to update them. That may not be a problem for you, but it is a pain for me. Second of all, right now some of us are experiencing really big problems. Focus

Hi there I like Digit-Eyes, but I have found that for some things TapTapSee works better. For example, if I just want to find out what's in a can of food, or even a package, I found the TapTapSee is faster. Would this work for your friend? That would allow him to be a lot more flexible insofar

They might've screwed it up a little in IOS 7. It did work good with IOS 6 though. I would've assumed that most of them used windows-based firmware updaters, but the Braille Edge might have a way to load it by putting a file on the SD card with it. The one issue I did have is that if the phone

Hi Kawal, if your Focus Blue was new last year when you bought it, you can update it. The only ones you can't update are the ones with whiz wheels, and they stopped being sold in 2012. Power 1 2 3 is a really cool feature for seamlessly switching between a computer connected via USB and an

Hi Mike, It's as I said. The kdc is fully intergrated with digit-eyes. Once pared it beeps the bar codes and instantly finds the information directly in digit-eyes. Most other bar code readers act as a HID device. That means the I device treats them as a bluetooth keyboard. The digit-eyes
