Hi Amy, okay, let me look into this. I have never used or felt a
notetaker or braille display but, could very well have good use of it.
Where would I be able to get this orientation with the product?

Hello Andy,
There is a 6-month option to pay through PayPal without interest for those
who qualify. And, since you live close, we could provide you with some
orientation and limited training.
Let me know if I can provide additional information.

Hi Amy, does this firm have a way to pay monthly for the 40 cell

Helli Jim and all,
Full disclosure, I work for Baum USA and support the VarioUltra. One of the
main differences between this and the Beetle is that the VarioUltra is not
just a braille display; It has a suite of applications and can work as a
stand alone notetaker with 32 giggs of storage. The applications include
word processor, calculator, pdf, powerpoint, and excel viewers, file
manager, settings, and help.
The VarioUltra has 20 and 40 cell options, has aluminum housing, and has a
2-year warranty which includes free cleaning and battery care if sent in 1
time yearly.
Hth,
Amy Ruell

Has anyone compared this to the Vario Ultra? I would love to know any major
differences. Sent from my iPhone 6!

Listers,
It's arrived: my new tiny, 14 cell refreshable Braille display
produced by HIMS. Nervous as I was ordering it from Sight and Sound
in the UK, I feel I'm gonna love it! it's small and the cells are
nice. I've already paired it with my iphone. And by the way, this
Braille display can remember 5 different bluetooth devices to which
one connects. It also has a USB connection.
I know it's going to be a steep learning curve and that I'm going to
be asking lots of questions but I've already managed to read using
Smart Beetle from Voice Dream Reader and ibooks. The pleasure of
reading quietly is intense! I'm delighted.
At present it seems that I have to keep my iphone or ipad unlocked
in order to use my Smart Beetle. Is this the case in your experience
too?
Also, Smart Beetle can connect via bluetooth either as a Braille
display or as a bluetooth keyboard emulator and it can also work in
combo mode, i.e. you can have it connected as a Braille display and
as a bluetooth keyboard for more functionality. I can navigate home
screens using it, open and close applications, read text, I've
written a text message using it, I can use the rotor. However, when
in Mail, I couldn't find a way of deleting an email I didn't want to
read and I was wondering whether there may be an equivalent of a
swiping gesture that Braille display could imitate. I just wonder
if you could share what else you can do with your refreshable Braille
displays and iPhone?
Many thanks for any suggestions
Andrew
