Hi! I am not donna but in my opinion I appreciate the cells of the helped displays. Especially the concave cells they use. >From what I have read the activator has a query keyboard and braille keyboard. You just flip it over to switch between the keyboards. /A > 8 dec. 2023 kl. 22:27 skrev M. Tayl

Re: Anyone have any experience with the activator braille display

I agree. I’ve written both to the American dealer, and directly to help tech. The other piece of this that is relevant for me, is that I currently have a 14 pro, but I’m eligible for an upgrade in October. So would that mean that I would have to purchase a new dock in October? If that is the cas

Re: Anyone have any experience with the activator braille display

Hi Mark, Well, I’ll get the bad news out of the way first. It costs $6400. Now, why am I considering it? First, it has a dock that connects it to the iPhone, so that the device and the iPhone essentially become one unit. Obviously you can use it as a keyboard, as you can many other displays

RE: Anyone have any experience with the activator braille display

Hello Donna, I have never heard of the Braille Activator device. How much does it costs? And why are you considering it over other Braille displays? Last week, I purchased a Focus 40 Blue, 5th Generation, Braille display from Freedom Scientific for approximately $4,000. It is an absolutely st

Re: Anyone have any experience with the activator braille display

Hi Angie,If it’s the same podcast I found, that podcast is now over a year old. So a lot may have changed since then. You’re right, in order for the purchase to make sense, I would want to know something definitively from the manufacturer.but I kind of can’t believe they wouldn’t plan for the migra

That’s a really good question, Angie. I just wrote and asked the US dealer. I’ll let you know what he says. Best, Donna > On Dec 8, 2023, at 9:23 AM, 'Angie Nutt' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > I may be a bit over cautious but the Activator connects to the iPhone by > lightning and newer i

Re: Anyone have any experience with the activator braille display

I may be a bit over cautious but the Activator connects to the iPhone by lightning and newer iPhones will be USB c, so my question would be, if I were to buy one: will we be able to connect it using USB C? It may be possible to get an adaptor, but for that much money I’d really want to be sure.

Re: Anyone have any experience with the activator braille display

Hi Jason, Thanks for this. It’s good to know that the panning mechanism works reliably. And I didn’t know about Jonathan’s podcast. I will see if I can find it. Cheers, Donna > On Dec 8, 2023, at 8:47 AM, 'Jason J.G. White' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > > > On 7/12/23 18:34, 'Donna Goo

Re: Anyone have any experience with the activator braille display

Yeah, exactly! I mean, it’s true that on the Mantis you can set it in braille keyboard mode, and type Perkins style. But for me that isn’t the same. I’ve also always wanted a braille display where I could just mount the iPhone on it, and use it as one device. It’s just a LOT of money. Cheers

Re: Anyone have any experience with the activator braille display

Hi! My intention is to have a look at it some day this month. It seems very cool with both a braille and querty keyboard. And I love the concave cells on their displays. Bless. /A > 8 dec. 2023 kl. 00:34 skrev 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries > : > > Hi all, > > Just wondered if anyone has had
