BRAILLEX EL 40sd

The handsome 40 cell desktop Braille display

BRAILLEX EL 40sd the smallest desktop display in our product range. The unit with its 40 interactive cells is just as wide as a regular computer keyboard is - a very attractive display for those who look for a moderately priced unit of the latest generation with all the comfort Papenmeier's slim-line EL displays provide.

Easy to Install and Use

Thanks to USB "plug & play" and "hot swap" features, you simply connect the Braille display to your computer, start your favorite screen reader program and go!

Alternatively, you can also connect the device to a serial port of your computer.

Perfect Ergonomics

BRAILLEX EL 40sd offers a choice of traditional flat Braille cells or newly designed slightly concave cells, formed to follow the curves of your fingertips. The cursor-routing keys are integrated into the cells in a way that minimal movement of the fingers allows exact and comfortable operation.

The user interface for the major screen readers is menu-based and very easy to learn and operate.
