Voyager

Available in Australia and New Zealand Only

At the very moment the Internet community is flourishing, Tieman introduces the Braille Voyager. A series of Braille displays that meets the highest needs of the new economy.

Use of personal computers is no longer tied to a working environment or a given point in time. Laptop computers now make it possible to work and communicate wherever and whenever you desire. Braille users can easily put these new possibilities to use with the Braille Voyager series. The Braille Voyager 44 is more compact and light weighted than its successful predecessor, the ComiBraille, and therefore easy and comfortable to take along. Moreover, the ergonomic deign of the Braille Voyager 44 ensures optimal operating comfort for laptop use. The Braille Voyager 70 is perfectly tuned to a standard keyboard. Both models use Tieman’s own Braille cells; 44 in the Braille Voyager 44 and 70 in the Braille Voyager 70.

With the new product line, Tieman put into the hands of Braille uses an essential tool to maintain their independence. The development of the Braille Voyager was the result of close communication between Tieman and end users, from student to professional and from youngsters to seniors.

Information technology is an industry packed with unprecedented opportunities. Tieman provides an important contribution with the Braille Voyager to convert these opportunities into reality for people who are blind.

The Braille Voyager was designed to completely control the PC from the Braille display. From emailing to word-processing, the Braille Voyager does it all while eliminating the need to repeatedly switch you hands from the keyboard to the Braille display. This ensures an ergonomically sensible posture. The Braille Voyager connects easily to a PC or laptop through a USB port, made for a smooth and trouble-free installation. And no batteries or adapters are necessary!

The Braille user can enjoy true “Plug and Play”, thanks to the Tieman software supplied for PC or laptop. From the moment of installation, all Windows features are available to the Braille user from the Braille display.

Handy thumb keys, known from the ComiBraille, assist in perfect screen navigation.

The Braille user can adjust the display functions of the Braille Voyager to fit their individual preferences. Adding two extra Braille keys and a navigation key, makes it possible to operate Windows directly from the Braille display. This completes the ideal gearing for the demanding Braille user. The Braille Voyager also works will all major screenreaders.

Tieman is particularly proud of its Braille Voyager line as the optimal tool for people who are blind, to perform independently in the complex, information-rich society.
