Braille Voyager Braille Display

The Braille Voyager is a compact, versatile Braille line which, connected to either a laptop or desktop PC, provides a tactile means of working with the computer. Special pins form a line of Braille text on the display which is used to read information from the computer's screen. Using the Braille Voyager you can read word processed text, menus, boxes, spreadsheets, and via the Braille command buttons, operate Internet programs and other software, simply and quickly.

The Braille Voyager has features unique in its field. The fold away construction provides safety and portability, and its USB connection adds to the ease of use. With the Tieman Express macro editor, Braille Voyager has an amazing range of functions.

The Braille Voyager has the following key benefits :

• Small - Easily portable and lightweight
• USB Connector - No need for bulky, heavy power supply
• Easy to Learn - Which means higher productivity and efficiency
• Low Power - Minimal impact on laptop battery life
• Macros Feature - Run mainstream application software with minimal fuss

Modern Lightweight Construction.
Manufactured from tough, durable plastic, with a non-slip surface for laptop or a keyboard. With its unique fold-away construction, the Braille Voyager 44's case protects the Braille cells, and is compact and neat enough to stow easily in your laptop carrying case.

Ergonomically Designed Keys.
Above the Braille cells, cursor routing buttons will bring the on-screen cursor directly to the position you need. Navigation buttons can move you around the Windows environment, and Windows command keystrokes can be entered directly from the Braille keys, saving you time and effort and making Windows simple to use and easier to remember.

Compatibility and Adaptability.
The Braille Voyager works with all major screen readers, but the added functionality is independent of the screen reading software, making commands easy to learn and easy to teach.

The Braille Voyager has 44 and 70 cell models. The 44 cell is designed for laptop computers, and the wider 70 cell unit is designed for use with a desktop computer. Both of these models work via a USB connection, although if you require a serial connection, there is an optional serial pack, so ask for the Voyager 44+ or 70+.

Power Saving and Connectivity.
Braille Voyager connects to the USB port, from which it also takes its power, eliminating the need for an extra mains power supply. All you need to carry is the Braille Voyager and its USB cable, and the laptop - no extra bulky power adapter.

Technical Summary

Power Consumption.
Tieman are world renowned manufacturers of cells for soft Braille displays. Included with the Braille Voyager is Tieman's latest design for new, low power Braille cells. Using this latest technology, the Braille Voyager 44 will only affect the total power consumption of the laptop computer by 5%. This equates to a decrease of only nine minutes during a standard battery life of three hours.

Enhancing the screen reader by adding the capability of operating Windows directly, and with its own Macro Express feature, Braille Voyager 44 offers the portability of a notetaker with the processing power of a laptop.
