Hi,

Y'all will recall that BrailleMe came to the NVDA community for assistance in putting together a display driver last year. Earlier this year, late spring or perhaps very early summer, I got to see an early prototype of BraillMe, and it showed a lot of promise. There were afew rough edges, which I hope have been addressed in the final production version. At $50 less than Orbit Reader 20, there are a couple things I'll observe. First, the early prototype was a bit noisy, especially as the cursor blinked. Also, sometimes a cell wouldn't populate correctly if you had your finger on it. I hope these shortcomings got addressed. Also, this says it's a six-dot cell, not eight. This might be an issue for some, although I must say I never used those extra dots myself. On the plus side, display refresh is instantaneous, and there are cursor routing buttons for each cell, a feature the Orbit lacks. So if they really do release on 4th January, we could well have a winner here. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Mobile (preferred): (814) 431-0962 Phone: (814) 860-3194 Email: buddy@...

Its not out, and at least 1 person had issue and returned their unit that brought it at a convention. And to be honest I really want a full sized thingy, I am used to 6 dots I was taught 6 dots I only need 6 dots.

Here, here to the 40-cell display. Twenty is barely enough to do serious reading. That's what I would use it for. Mobile is the future, this I know. However, the more Braille cells on a display, the better. I'm thinking 32 or 40 would be nice.
