Показать описание
My review of the Traveler, successor to the Freewrite, by Astrohaus. Travel is a compact edition of the Freewrite smart typewriter, released in 2020.
Also check my Updated Review of Freewrite (2017).
Addition: not in this review, but you can also connect an external keyboard to the USB-port on the Traveler and use that for typing, including the cursor keys on the external keyboard.

This is an excellent review, thank you so much for taking the time to be so thorough and to cover the things we NEED to know. Got me across the line! You answered all the questions and complaints I have heard about the devices, (and you compared them which was exactly l what I needed).

Gosh, those portable Freewriters sure seem easier to take around than any laptop computer! I must admit, I am VERY INTRIGUED by 'em!

Thanks for this excellent review. I am on the verge of getting a FreeWrite (full size, I think) so have been hoovering up every review I can find and yours is one of the most helpful.

Well explained review. Technical but human!

I use a rechargeable clip on LED light that illuminates the screen and keyboard perfectly without being hard on the eyes. The light has three settings to make it less intense.

Excellent, well presented comprehensive overview of these unique device, Ivo. Thanks for sharing this!
While I get and support the concept behind this device, I don't understand why they have such a tiny display? There is clearly room for a much larger display. Battery life, cost, or ?

Very good review! I’ve followed the development of the Freewrite since the initial announcement of the traveller and I’m glad to see it officially released. One question, though - does the keystroke delay ever bother you in your writing journey? Is there a difference in keystroke response time between the Traveller and the original Freewrite? Thank you.

an LCD screen doesn't flicker unless the backlight is PWM'd meaning the backlight is flickering at a fixed rate to control how bright you see the screen.

Are you able to copy and paste between documents? What about formatting? All the paragraphs shown in your review are left justified with no indentations.

How do you know, in which folder you are right now? I understand that on the big device, there are mechanical switches, but how can you know that on the smaller device, which has only buttons?

the screen is quite laggy, that would be a problem for me, as I type 60 wpm. I hope the big one is better.

Can you directly transfer documents from the Traveler to a laptop WITHOUT using the internet?
Edit: I think you may have answered this in the video by writing on screen that you can transfer using a usb.
Best review I've seen. I doubt that I'll buy one though. Too expensive.

Can you import a work in progress to the Freewrite? Does it accept Doc files?

Does it go to sleep when you close the clamshell? Or do you need to remember to push the button to save battery?

Can I take the writing with me with my own flash drive???

That thing looks very similar to a Nintendo DS, I wonder if it has the supernatural durabulity of one as well...
