The Brailliant BI 20X is a feature-packed, portable 20-cell refreshable braille display that you can pair with your favourite devices or use with standalone applications, making it an ideal braille travel companion.

Brailliant BI X braille displays are the first to include text-to-speech, bringing you closer to a hybrid notetaker feel. And by customising the features, you can maximise your reading pleasure while staying connected on the go.

This smart and compact braille display has been designed to bring you mobility, comfort, and efficiency at all times. 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 also 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 and with 16GB 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.
