BRISTOL BRAILLE TECHNOLOGY

Bristol Braille Technology is building Canute, an affordable full-page Braille eBook reader. Canute is the world’s first viable multi-line refreshable Braille e-reader; a ‘Kindle for blind people’. Available for a price comparable to a new iPhone or Perkins Brailler, Canute has been developed by Bristol Braille Technology with, by, and for the blind community. Canute has been in development since 2012. In March 2018 it will begin its final pre-production testing pilot, prior to beginnin... g sales later in the year. We’d love to give a specific release date, but its important to us to be transparent with our users: we want to hear back from the pilot programme feedback before we give a definitive date, and we don’t want to rush to market, only to deliver a sub-standard machine. If you would like to register an interest in pre-ordering, once we start to take them, please contact us.More
