Thanks for this video. I wanted to be better educated on the tools available for blind/visually impaired and understand how they work but you also helped me appreciate why devices like Notetaker are helpful. Thanks again!

Which device is this? I'm currently looking at info on different Braille displays and/or NoteTakers because my old BrailleNote that I had since high school just crashed. I'd love something that can be used as a NoteTaker and as a Braille display depending on the situation! Thank you!

Please look up Sight and Sound; they can help you navigate the right tech for you! www.sightandsound.co.uk

This sounds really useful! How much would one of these cost roughly?

[@Henshaws]

Hi Sue - they really are! Unfortunately they're not the cheapest piece of equipment, and depending on the version and what the device is capable of doing, it can be as much as around £2000-£3000.
We've listed some of the key organisations that could provide grants or financial assistance on our website here in case that's helpful - www.henshaws.org.uk/grants.
