Absolutely love my new Mantis Q40. Having the qwerty keyboard and braille makes it so user friendly for everything from reading books to using for work.
Mantis Q40 braille display
The first–of–its–kind integrated keyboard and refreshable braille display
The Mantis Q40 is the first-ever Bluetooth® QWERTY keyboard and 40-cell refreshable braille display that you can pair with your screen reader or smartphone or simply use as a standalone device. Either way, you have braille at your fingertips, every time.
How does this product change your life?
The Mantis Q40 is a complete all-in-one, laptop-sized QWERTY keyboard with a built-in, refreshable 40-cell braille display that you can pair with your screen reader or smartphone via Bluetooth and USB connections.
As you tap the keys on the laptop-sized Mantis, the refreshable braille line under the keyboard delivers braille reinforcement to your chosen screen reader simultaneously. The product is slim, lightweight and fits easily into a laptop sleeve. On the go, the built-in memory and Editor application allow you to turn it into a standalone braille reader and notebook. Once connected, access online libraries to upload your favorite books.
With the Mantis Q40, you no longer have to choose between a keyboard and a braille device. It's a truly innovative tool that makes it easier for you to get involved and get things done.
