The braille is a bit sharp but if you can get used to that and like reading braille, I'd say it's not bad.

I had one but had to return it because I realised i'm not a fan of braille like that.

If I were going to get one again, I'd go with the 40 cell instead of the 20 but I'd highly recommend phoning vision australia and seeing if they can get a unit for you to try.

I just checked the site for you and can't find anything in there shop but calling them would be a good idea.

Sorry mate.

I just looked up the price and in the us it's about $99.

There is a device called hable that's a bit more expencive, honestly I think you'll do just as good with the writer but here's the link if you want to know more: https://www.iamhable.com/

It's around £250 so that's 477.66 Australian Dollar, oh wow.
