For the Student

• Skill Building . Introduces students to a wide range of computer concepts within the process of learning braille.

They learn these skills adventitiously, by virtue of using a modern braille writing tool.
• Easy transition to other technologies/products.
• Print to Braille - Braille to Print. Simple easy translation between braille and print. Greatly reduces the isolation of the braille student.

• Makes braille more accessible . View braille as text on Mimic screen or on printer.
• Peer Support . Modern sleek design creates interest amongst peers, leading to greater understanding and acceptance.
• Paper . Regular lightweight paper is cheaper and easier to store and carry. It’s also the same paper the rest of the class uses.
