Canute 360 is ideal for use at home or the office.
For professionals, home readers and college students Canute can drastically increase the availability of Braille material. It reads all pre-formatted Braille Ready Files (BRF) and Portable Embosser Files (PEF), meaning you can read texts from Bookshare, the RNIB Library or any other Braille library in the world.
The Canute’s ‘hard’ signage quality Braille makes Canute ideal for Braille beginners and those coming back to it.
Why should Braillists read text files one or two words at a time when print readers read a paragraph at a time? Why should Braillists laboriously scan a spreadsheet one cell at a time when their sighted colleagues see the whole table?
Literature, musical notation, charts, graphs, mathematics, tables and spacial diagrams. All these are hugely more practical on a nine-line refreshable Braille display than on a single-line display, reams of embossed paper or through text-to-speech. Using transcription software such as Duxbury DBT or Braille Blaster any digital text file can be transferred to and read on Canute.
Designed and manufactured in our workshop in Bristol, you can be confident that the people who made your machine care as much about good Braille as you do.
