Hi all,
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all this info about the braille
Edge. I hadn't realized that it had no internal storage. That's not a deal
breaker, but it's good to know going in.
Thanks again, it's great to be on a list with so many helpful and knowledgeable
people.

Yes indeed you can read BRL files or BRF files on the braille edge. I have

Well, maybe this is a personal thing, but I have found sinking some of these
devices to be a real pain. I have crashed that sinking program several times,
and I got tired of it. That's when I started doing transfer of files onto thumb
drives or something else besides syncing. Therefore,

Hey Donna
Do you have a MacBook Pro? Because if you do, you already have a slot. I did
not know that until I went to buy my braille edge, and the gentleman there in
Fordney that I could do that.

Hi there
Yes, it is a true statement that you have to take out the Sd card. However,
this is no big deal. You don't have to turn the machine off, and you just press
on the side of it, and it pops out. Then, you just slip it into your Mac, and
do whatever you need to do, eject the Sd card With
Sorry, Mark, I guess I just assumed that would be the case.

Hi mark.
You're correct. You have to use the SD card, and an SD card reader if
your computer does not have one, to act as the go between in terms of
transfering files to and from the Edge. It doesn't have any internal
storage.

I know the developer of www.robobraille.org, if you write me a mail of list in

it can be made possible.

Hi Annie.
I don't think you can convert files from other formats to brf, but I
wish you could. Unless there has been an update since I last used that
website back in November?

OK, so if I understand correctly, you can't move a txt file onto the unit and

Lobby all for that. I would like a very light board for the braille edge. I
want to make it heavier. It needs one subtle like the old braille light 40 case.

2 things here: I think the OnHand issue with the Mac is one related to

No, I have not noticed having any wordwrap issues. However, I must admit I

Have those of you using Hims braille displays with your Mac noticed any word
