The NEW b.note braille display is the result of more than 40 years of design and technological innovation for the visually impaired. Combining the functions of a braille display with internal note-taking features; b.note is the next generation of refreshable braille displays.
Connectivity
You can use b.note like a standard braille display; connecting with a USB cable or wirelessly through Bluetooth to your computer, phone or other device. You can also transfer files through the dedicated USB connection.
b.note also adds a unique feature: You can transfer files wirelessly, through the Bluetooth connection (PC/Android only, for now).
Compatibility
Use Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android. Any major screen reader will work, including: JAWS, NVDA, SuperNova, VoiceOver, TalkBack, BrailleBack and more.
Less hand movement required
The unique routing keys on b.note have 2 functions. One is to route the curser to that location in the text, like standard curser routing keys. But with b.note, you can also use the curser routing keys to move you forwards or backwards; eliminating the need to move your hands to press the forward/backward buttons. Just press lightly on the curser key for character 1 and you move backwards; the remaining curser keys all move you forward. Press strong to make the standard curser routing command. Keep your hands in place and save your wrists.
Modern Design
European precision-designed housing and keys make b.note ergonomic and robust. The keys feel solid and press easily. b.note even includes a rubber “bumper” that is integrated into the device housing, to help you better grip it and protect against drops.
