BraillePen Slim: $299
BraillePen 12: $995
We're excited to tell you about 2 new products we've brought onboard -- the BraillePen 12 and the BraillePen Slim. BraillePen 12 provides an awesome, easy, efficient and affordable way to operate your iPhone, iPod, or iPad. With Apple's release of iOS 4.3 BraillePen Slim gained these capabilities too. The BraillePens are little Bluetooth Braille keyboards. The BraillePen 12 also has a 12 cell Braille display and a joystick. You can use Braille commands or the joystick to move forward or backward between icons, set rotor settings,
open icons, press the Home key, etc. The Braille keyboard is used to write text messages, emails, web addresses, notes... whatever you need to write. Your Braille writing is accurately translated to print as you go.
Because these connect to your iPhone, iPod, or iPad via Bluetooth, there are no wires. You can have your "i" device in your pocket and run it from the BraillePen in your hands. Although the "i" devices are accessible with a system of hand gestures, this can be a cumbersome and time consuming way to use them. The BraillePen works with VoiceOver to make both navigation and writing clean, clear, and efficient.
BraillePens will stay compatible with the latest technology. The BraillePen 12 runs with today's Apple iPad, iPod (generation 3 and 4) and the iPhone 3GS and 4. The BraillePen Slim runs with iOS 4.3 and higher. No more worries about your spendy Braille access device lagging behind. Down the road if Apple has added so many cool features to the iPad, iPod, or iPhone that you've just got to have a new one... go right ahead! Bring that fancy new gizmo home and rest assured that it will run beautifully with your BraillePen too.
BraillePens also work with MAC computer systems running VoiceOver, and Windows computers running System Access, Supernova, and Dolphin Pen, and also mobile phones running Talks or MobileSpeak.
The BraillePens are small and lightweight. The BraillePen Slim is 5.8 x 3 x .9 inches and weighs 6.35 oz. The BraillePen 12 is 5.8 x 3.9 x .85 inches and weighs 9.2 oz.
And maybe the best piece of news about the BraillePens is the price. The BraillePen Slim is only $299, and the BraillePen 12 with a 12 cell Braille display is only $995.
We believe the braille display and joystick on the BraillePen 12 provide added enhancements including more intuitive control and easy review of your writing that will be of significant value to customers considering both products.
