Refreshable Braille Displays

Refreshable Braille Displays use screen readers such as JAWS to activate the refreshable Braille cells and act as a tactile monitor that allows the user to navigate and read information in dynamic Braille.

Ideal for those visually challenged who prefer to read the contents of the PC in Braille instead of the Standard QWERTY keyboard.

It connects to any PC or laptop installed with JAWS software.
