Hi, ultimately the best thing is for you to try and get your hands on a
few displays to choose from. If you can't do that, then you will go
mainly by reviews and/or what other people say. Here is my take on this
display.
1. It's small and portable. That's good for me.
2. It has 18 cells.
The first misconception here is that APH makes products for people who
are visually impaired. They make products that can be purchased by
schools using federal quota funds. Why would the school district pay
for something they can get free. I think an 18-cell display is better
than a 14 cell
APH does have a retail site. I've bought Braille tutoring books as a single
consumer. I've also bought other small products from them.

Slow down; you'll get there faster.

Yes, they have a retail site and you can definitely purchase the
refresh-a-braille there. You and I are not their primary customers,
though. Their primary customers are school districts, and the
government. The people who are buying most of their products are not
blind and buy them because they
It is true that the government is the major purchaser. When I was talking about
is the actual users of the products. Those individuals are blind or visually
handicapped.

I used one for a couple weeks. It is a very solid display and it worked just
fine for me. My two complaints are that the charging port is really, really
awkward to get to, and the keys are not at all comfortable to type on. If you
want to bang out a text or Facebook update, it's fine, but if
The difficulty of getting to the charging port would be a showstopper for me. I
recommended this is play once for a consumer, I never will again.

Hi, All,
I also have a RefreshaBraille-18 and the biggest complaint is the location of
the charging port. It's located on the back side of the display and it's quite
difficult to get the USB cable into it. I leave the cable in the port because
of this, but otherwise, I'm satisfied with it's
I cannot understand why a company who produces products for blind and visually
handicapped individuals with producing unit with the port that is that
inaccessible.

I can't understand that either. I believe that somewhere in the manual there
was mention that their reasoning was if someone dropped the unit, the USB port
wouldn't be damaged. It would have been much better on the side rather than
underneath.

I agree this USB port placement wasn't a good choice. However, with a bit of
practice, I've learned how to attach the cable pretty efficiently. I imagine
people with larger hands/fingers or fine motor problems would have more trouble
and I definitely agree it isn't the best. But I'm not sorry I
Hi Cheryl,
Well, if somebody wants us display, they should certainly get it. But I think
there are other options that have more suitable charging ports then this one
does. So if somebody wanted to display, yes, they should know about the
placement of the charging port, I still wouldn't
