Hi all,
My VarioUltra has gotten to the point where I either need to try and get it
fixed—which may not be possible—or get a new braille display. Since I don’t
have $6000 to shell out for an ActiveBraille, I’m thinking about the Focus. I

Oit definitely connects to one or more devices and allows you to switch

Hi, to answer your questions, the estimated battery life for the bogus

Yeah, the tactile scrolling is the thing that really intrigues me about that
line of displays. But I really think that having 14 cells would drive me crazy,
which means I'm looking at the more expensive model.

Just for accuracy sake it’s 16, and it scrolls so seamlessly I haven’t noticed.
unless you are trying to control your computer I don’t think it would. I
absolutely love mine, and it’s battery life is amazing 30 to 40 hours.

well, I never gave up on Amazon music mostly because I've been buying music

Hi,
Yes. Connect your iPhone to your Mac with the USB charging cable. On your
Mac, open QuickTime from the Applications folder. Cancel the Open dialog.
From the File menu, select "New Movie Recording". Select your iPhone from the
source menu and make sure that the input volume is not muted
Hi,
The best way to do this is to set up a shortcut in Keyboard Commander of VO

So, I just hold down the right option key with the letter g to toggle it
