D/S Brailliant BI40X

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.

Brailliant BI X braille displays are the first to include text-to-speech, bringing you closer to a hybrid notetaker feel. Plus, the KeySoft Lite application suite is ready to give you a smarter, more intuitive user experience.

This faster, stronger, future-forward braille display offers you a reliable connection to multiple devices at once.

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 customise the main menu, configure HumanWare's signature thumb keys, select the braille table, and adjust the auto-scroll speed to suit your reading preferences and maximise your comfort.

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.

The future-ready Brailliant BI 40X is designed for those who value connectivity and productivity in one single device.
