Hi Pete and Brianna, Actually, according to info I've received recently, it is back in production, and there is a U.S. distributor. I absolutely love my VU. It works great with Mac and IOS. Its design is small, light, and portable. I don't have need for this often, but I love that it can read

Hi, I’m thinking to switch from my Actilino to the VarioUltra 20 Braille display. That display has come up on this list before, but of course I didn’t follow the threads. I’d love to hear from folks who have an Ultra with thoughts about how it works with both Mac and iOS devices. I’ve read some

Hi, It sounds like File Vault is enabled. When you turn VO on at that point, does the voice sound more mechanical? If this is indeed the case, you just need to type the username in as it appears in the System Prefs. After entering the username, press return, then you should hear the computer
