It's called BRAILLEMATE. This spring, TeleSensory introduced BrailleMate, a hand-held information organizer with an 8-dot braille cell and a built-in speech synthesizer. BrailleMate features an 8-dot braille keyboard with two special function keys. With the braille keyboard, text can be entered in either Grade 1 or Grade 2 braille. Since BrailleMate has an on-board translator, Grade 2 braille is automatically converted to standard text for speech and print output. A simple command sends information to an ink printer or braille embosser. Combining BrailleMate with TeleSensory's Navigator braille display gives you all BrailleMate's handy features in a 20, 40 or 80-character refreshable braille format. And the newest model Navigator 80 now features vertical and horizontal touch strips that enable movement of the display window and cursor. Together with a tactile ruler, cursor routing is simplified by using the vertical strip to move the display to a specific line and the horizontal strip to route the cursor to a specific cell. TeleSensory has been providing solutions that work for blind and visually impaired people for over 20 years.
