I love being able to create documents and take notes using my BI 40X. The Brailliant provides this functionality, which I use for journal and technology books writing, or note taking. I also love being able to download and read books directly on the unit and appreciate being able to navigate in Word and HTML documents. Being able to read PDFs is also incredibly useful!
Brailliant BI 40X braille display
The faster, stronger, future–forward braille display
Uniquely powered by Bluetooth 5 wireless technology, this refreshable 40–cell braille display will double your pairing speed and quadruple your range, providing a more reliable and stable connection for an outstanding user experience. Plus, the Brailliant BI X series of braille displays are the first to include text-to-speech, bringing you closer to a hybrid notetaker feel.
How does this product change your life?
With the latest Bluetooth 5 wireless technology, Brailliant BI 40X offers you a reliable connection to multiple devices at once. Plus, the KeySoft Lite application suite is ready to give you a smarter, more intuitive user experience.
By allowing you to speak the word under the cursor and announce an unfamiliar word, the text-to-speech feature promotes braille proficiency, making it easier to switch from uncontracted to contracted braille.
You can customize the main menu, configure the thumb keys, select the braille table, and adjust the auto-scroll speed to suit your reading preferences and maximize your comfort.
HumanWare's signature thumb keys make reading effortless, while the KeySoft Lite editing application makes discreet note taking a pleasure. With 32GB of usable internal storage and the included onboard translation ensuring compatibility with various file types, managing data has never been easier. Once paired with your screen reader via Bluetooth or USB connections, emailing, saving, and transferring documents of various file types couldn't be easier.
Do you value connectivity and productivity above all else? The future–ready Brailliant BI 40X is designed for those who want to accomplish both in one single device.
