Yes, BrailleMe is sold in the U.S. by National Braille Press, www.nbp.org I could never get it to pair with the phone, but your mileage might vary. It was about $500. Susie From: 'Kliphton Miller' via VIPhone [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2018

I have the Logitech K380. It doesn't have a number pad, but it has everything else and it works really slick with the phone. It doesn't fold up like some keyboards do, but the action on it is very nice. I got mine at Amazon for about $40. Susie -Original Message- From: 'Lynda Boose'

“chord” is a term used in this case to mean that you press the spacebar along with the other keys indicated. So, space with dots 1 and 3. The term “chord” is from the old Braille Lite days. Susie From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Agent086b

Finding a Specific Ringtone

So yesterday I went exploring in the iTunes store and found a whole bunch of ringtones. I don't always care for the electronic renderings of classical pieces-I'd rather have a real orchestra, but that's just me. My question is this: suppose a person wanted, say, the Jeopardy! "think" music, or the

Hello Lelia. My condolences. I have a Brailliant 14 for my phone. You do have to pan, and since It only has 14 cells, the speech is usually ahead of how fast the Braille displays. But I really like it. I tried the new BrailleMe from a company in India and could never get it to pair with the
