Loud is in the ears of the beholder. I do not think it is that loud. If you are using it, to me it sounds like a little rainstick. One person on the Orbit Reader list uses it to read scripture in church and no one finds it distracting. I've used it in church to read the bulletin and hymn lyrics, and people in the pew behind me hardly hear anything. If you are judging its noise based on some of the recordings that are out there, they are very misleading since the microphone must have been right on top of it, and ended up amplifying it.

It keeps up a constant clatter in a meeting as the dots refresh. And, no routing buttons. I bought a BrailleMe when they first came out; it would never pair with my iPhone. Cute little device, but I wanted it for the phone, so I sent it back within the 30 days I should say that the staff at National Braille Press, where I bought it, including the CEO, were wonderful in trying to help me make the marriage between phone and device work. Now, the BrailleMe has certainly been upgraded since I bought mine. I really value cursor routing buttons, so Orbit just isn't going to cut it. In the end, I bought myself a Brailliant 14. Works great. More money, but ...

Orbit may cost a little more now, closer to $600 or $650. It does not have cursor routing keys and I personally don't like the layout of the keyboard with the space bar where it is, but the braille is great. The Braille Me has routing buttons, and somebody said that the newer units have better braille than the older ones had; there were problems before. It does not presently work with JAWS, while the Orbit works with both screen readers. I don't know what the return policy from the vendors is, but assuming you have 30 days or so, you could buy one and try it out. That's an annoying way to learn, but there may not be alternatives.

Any advice guys? Are there huge differences between them? I'm just looking for a relatively cheap display, with crisp Braille, that works well with smartphones and pc using Jaws and NVDA. Are there other cheap displays I should know of? If any of you own both, I'd appreciate any info you can provide. thanks! -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
