Before and now
Hi! This is the tihrth entry of this blog. After reading theprevious two, you may be thinking about this question. Is it posible to conjugate braille with modern technologie? How could it be done? In this post I will talk about my experience with braille devices.
Braibook.
Braibook is a spanish innovator device that looks like a mouse, -it may be a little bit bigger- wich consist in a braille cell of eight movile points. Computariced braille is composed of eight points, but we usually find it with six points. Depending of the order that the device recives, some points are showed and some points are hided, and that showed points mean an only letter or sign. In the device there is also a joistick to move via de documents or the configuration menue. The braibook is light and compact, has different options and counts with a voice that reads aloud if you use headphones, but it can only repressent one sign at the same time. This makes reading a slow experience, even after the adaptation period.
Braille me.
Braille me is not the first braille display on the market. It consists in a determinated number of refreshable cells wich show diferent letters at the same time. Braille me has twenty refreshable cells, so we can read twenty letters before needing to refresh the device. It also has a writing option, with six keys representing the six points used to write in braille. Depending of what keys you use, the corresponding points will apear inmediately in the cells. The braille me was created by innovision, an enterprice from India. It is one of the cheapest braille displays at this moment, and it has a good quality and functioning. In braille, the reading proces is not as fast as conventional reading, but both types of reading represents a similar experience. That is way I prefer reading, for example, comedy books in braille and not by audiobooks. It's worth it!
