Why An External Braille
Keyboard?
Most blind people use a standard QWERTY type keyboard
when working with a computer. In a number of cases however, when it
comes to editing grade two Braille, writing mathematics or music Braille
for example, using a Braille keyboard makes a lot of sense. And an
ergonomically designed Braille keyboard like Braille In will ease your
work even when you have to work on long documents.
Easy Installation
You connect Braille In to your PC just like you
connect a standard keyboard: you plug it into the keyboard port.
Braille In comes with your national Braille code and
keyboard emulation pre-installed. If you need another configuration, you
connect the Braille keyboard's configuration port to the serial port of
your computer and load the new translation table into Braille In's
flash-ROM.
Is Compatibility An Issue?
Braille In does not require any resident software to
work with your computer. It therefor works, independently of whether you
run your computer under DOS, Windows, NT, OS/2 or UNIX.
Full 102 Key Keyboard Support
Braille In can emulate all functions of your PC
keyboard, including all those key combinations with Shift, CTRL, ALT,
etc.
If you think that remembering those sometimes strange Braille
combinations might be a problem, just plug your QWERTY keyboard into
Braille In. Both keyboards will work together seamlessly.
Perfect Ergonomics
Besides its ergonomically designed Braille keyboard (8
Braille keys plus space), Braille In has 10 function keys which make it
easy to write in a fast and safe way.
