Braille Terminal

There are many different types of disabilities that students face, and giving students as many of the tools to succeed as possible is a good goal of the educator and parent. Blind students face many challenges in the classroom and as the digital world is used more often in the classroom, they need additional tools to use technology.

A Braille Terminal is a device that is placed below a computer keyboard that is used to display Braille characters through holes in the flat surface so that vision-impaired students can still read what is being displayed on a computer screen.

A blind student can use this technology and/or a speech synthesizer to use a computer.

The Braille Terminal uses software that reads the screen of the computer, including analyzing images and pictures and describing them, and puts out characters of Braille for the user to read.
