Hi Annie, I'm Audrey Joy in NYC. Our regional library has a few BrailleMe's. I borrowed one to play with.
It has cursor-routing keys, and it pairs with the Ios, Voiceover for Mac, NVDA (not Jaws) and it has an SAID card where you can store files and folders/notetaker. I didn't like using it; it's noisy when it refreshes and the keyboard is uncomfortable to use. I recommend it for a person who hasn't been spoiled by anything else. I use the HIMS BrailleSense U2 and the U2 Mini. My Focus40 died. I will be purchasing a QBraille very shortly. You may contact me at [email protected] for more details.
