BRAILLEX Trio

The Multi-Purpose Refreshable Braille Tool

BRAILLEX Trio is a real multi-talent. It is at the same time a 40-cell Braille display and a Braille keyboard for external devices (PCs, off-the-shelf PDAs or mobile phones with appropriate screen readers), and a basic notetaker. All this is concentrated in a small, portable device with unique ergonomics.

Working comfort is no luxury!

Working comfort helps preventing symptoms of fatigue. Avoiding unnecessary movements increases efficiency.

  • BRAILLEX Trio's flat housing allows a relaxed sitting position even when you have the unit on a desk.
  • The ergonomic Braille keyboard is ideally positioned around the Braille display. The space bars and special function keys are located in front of the display, the Braille keys behind. The distance between the Braille keyboard and the display is only 3.5 cm (1.38").
  • Obviously, BRAILLEX Trio, like all Papenmeier Braille displays, is equipped with the patented joystick-like Easy Access Bar (see Overview Braille devices) situated on the front side of the device.
  • The newly developed seamless SingleChannel Braille display stands for highest reading comfort: Your fingers slide like on paper on the slightly concave display that is perfectly adapted to the shape of your fingertips.

Enjoy the liberty of wireless connection

Thanks to its Bluetooth® interface, BRAILLEX Trio is independent from any connection cables. Within a range of 10 meters (33 ft), BRAILLEX Trio can communicate with other Bluetooth devices. With BRAILLEX Trio you won't care where the computer is you want to access. Sit on your deck in the summer with the computer inside the house, and you still have full access to your data. The integrated Braille keyboard along with the Bluetooth interface makes this possible.

BRAILLEX Trio is versatile!

Even if your computer is out of reach: You can use BRAILLEX Trio as a basic notetaker as well. With 20 hours battery life (10 hours when using the Bluetooth port) and a text memory equivalent to 4000 Braille pages, you jot down your ideas wherever you are, or read a book in the train for example.

The internal functions of BRAILLEX Trio also include a calculator, clock and calendar.

Use the provided communications program to transfer data from BRAILLEX Trio to a PC and vice versa. The transfer includes forward and backward grade 2 translation if required.
