The NFB Applauds the Introduction of the Access Technology Affordability Act in the Senate
S. 1467 in the United States Senate by Senator Ben Cardin D-MD. Senators John Boozman (R-AR), Ron Wyden (D-Or), and Todd Young (R-IN) are original co-sponsors of the bill. This legislation removes an education and employment barrier commonly experienced by blind Americans who cannot afford the high cost of access technology by creating a refundable tax credit in the amount of $2,000.

I learned two new keyboard commands on the Mantis Braille display today: Menu plus left and right keys to move between connected devices. They're going to be really useful especially when I receive texts etc. I don't recall seeing those in the User Guide.
