Literacy is the foundation of language, learning and a
successful life. For people who are blind or vision impaired, literacy
through Braille is the key to the world of ideas, literature and
written communication. You can listen to audio, but you read Braille!
Adaptive technology devices are essential literacy tools for students
who read and write in Braille. They are used from the beginning of
braille literacy and right throughout life.
The Mountbatten Brailler is adaptive technology that has been designed
to meet the needs of blind students in today’s environment, especially
in early braille instruction, as a foundation tool for literacy.
The Mountbatten Brailler is the complete Braille learning centre for
Braille learners and their teachers. Extensive research and development
over the last 20 years has resulted in a design suitable from the very
first stages of Braille instruction through to high school and beyond.
A professional resource, the Mountbatten Brailler offers exceptional
connectivity and software to support flexible teaching and educational
needs.
The Mountbatten Brailler is an electronic Braille writer, notetaker and
embosser. It integrates modern computer technology and has multiple
applications which support embossing, reading, file storage, and audio
support of all operations.
Its main features include an ergonomic Braille keyboard, memory, speech
feedback and forward and back translation. A regular PC keyboard can be
connected to the Mountbatten to produce contracted or uncontracted
Braille and a printer can be connected to produce a print translation
of Braille output.
