Braille Wave

Ultra-compact Braille Wave fits in any briefcase

Move into new ways of reading braille with Braille Wave. Braille Wave - the Braille display that's so light and compact that it fits in any briefcase and yet still has 40 Braille cells.

Light and Elegant

Weighing just 1000 g (35 oz.), it's the incredible light weight that makes the Braille Wave the display for mobile usage.
The elegant design combines superb functionality and dynamic shaping - and all that with such small measurements of 360 x 120 x 35 millimeters (14,7 x 4,7 x 1,3 inches).

The Best Ergonomics

The small, compact, curved casing makes your orientation to the Braille Wave easy. The Braille Wave's cells are concave and follow the shape of your fingertips ideally. The reading keys are situated to the right and left of the Braille display itself, directly where your fingers run off the display. With the quiet, easily used function keys, you can also make your notes without an external keyboard.

Easy File Transfer

HTCom, the Handy Tech communication program makes it easy to transfer files like your own notes from the Braille Wave to the PC. After editing a text at your PC, you can use HTCom to transfer the file onto the Braille Wave. HTCom extracts the pure text information in order to save memory capacity. Additionally, files can be directly transferred from the Windows explorer or from Word.

Handy and Practical

The best position for the Braille display in relation to the keyboard is gained by placing the Braille Wave in front of the PC-keyboard or the laptop.
Place the Braille Wave on your lap and lean back. Read, in this relaxed state, your e-mails or whatever else awaits you!

Easy Extensions

Now it is even possible to connect an external keyboard to the Braille Wave. You can broaden the scope with an alphanumerical keyboard, so you can make notes in the most comfortable way for you.

Flexible Access To Computers

Braille Wave gives you access to various computer systems, for example Apple, Linux, Windows 95/98/ME/XP/NT/2000/XP/7.

Integrated Note Taking Facility
