Product Highlights:
Active Responsive Touch (ART)
Our Active Responsive Touch (ART) technology tracks finger position in real-time with our innovative Smart Scroll functionality. As you reach the last cell of the display line, the display refreshes automatically, offering a natural, seamless, immersive reading experience akin to reading a physical book.
Smart Scroll
BrailleSense 7 introduces an Analog Scroll Wheel that allows users to quickly skim and scroll documents in a similar way a sighted person uses a mouse. Scroll a document with one hand, while following the braille with another.
Multi-Device Connectivity
USB and Bluetooth legacy support, as well as the modern HID Braille standard, with the ability to connect multiple devices at once. BrailleSense 7 also offers Remote PC Screen Reader Control, with either Braille or a full QWERTY interface, via NVDA Remote Support.
Detachable QWERTY Keyboard
In addition to the traditional Perkins Braille keyboard, and Gemini-based dictation, BrailleSense 7 Supports a Detachable QWERTY Keyboard allowing for high-speed typing in a familiar layout.
Google Gemini Partnership
A long press on the Home button instantly summons Google Gemini, for instant answers to your most immediate questions or analysis of documents from any screen.
Single-Press Dictation
With a dedicated physical dictation button driven by AI powered by Google Gemini, users can start taking notes or searching the web with a single press.
Included Accessories
The BrailleSense 7 comes with a carrying case with a detachable QWERTY keyboard and an extra, user-replaceable, battery to keep you up and running twice as long.
Favorites Folder
Pin your most frequently used BrailleSense and/or Android apps for easy retrieval.
