No. For just under $1000, you were expecting it to duplicate the functionality of devices costing double or more? It does not have the capabilities you wanted. If you want that, be prepared to pay many thousands. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 19, 2018, at 6:15 PM, Cris Ali

Hi Mary Yes, it does have on board internal storage capacity. There is a switch with 2 settings. If you have it to the left then the BI 14 runs its own internal notes application, allowing you to make as many notes whenever and wherever you like. You can then also ask the Brailliant to sync

Hello, Only time will tell. I think that HumanWare is looking at the Brailliant BI 14 being the only display for now with the sync feature, as it’s so portable. It is a great start to slightly more affordable braille displays. Thanks, Ed > On Apr 13, 2018, at 1:45 PM, Mary Otten

I also have the 32. I really like the ergonomics of it. But I would like something that would let me take some notes. I certainly don’t want a full-fledged blindness oriented note taker. But the ability to take notes or have a list that I take to the store would be good. I was kind of hoping

Hi, I have the Brailliant BI 32, but it's not an independent notetaker. Obviously since it has 32 cells it is a very big device. It's not as portable as my Refreshabraille 18 used to be. Sent from my sprint iPhone X!!! > On Apr 13, 2018, at 3:21 PM, 'Eleanor Roberts' via VIPhone >

Hi Mary Yes, I’ve seen and have purchased a Brailliant BI 14. It arrived a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve been getting on well with it. It can either act as a Braille display and keyboard for your I-device, or it can act as a totally independent note taker. Where interacting with an I-device
