Braille Displays

Focus refreshable braille displays with unequalled user control. The latest in braille display technology, the portable and affordable Focus 40 and 80 put you in control as you smoothly navigate the Windows ® environment. Focus is packed with advanced features and options that can be easily configured through JAWS ® for Windows.

The contemporary choice for students, professionals and home users. The durable Focus has 40 or 80 cells of braille. Connection is simple. Just plug into a PC or notebook computer via USB.

The Focus has been specifically designed for comfort and ease of use. Even the surface of the braille display has a new design that eliminates seams between the cells and provides a smooth reading surface that feels like paper.

Quickly move around documents with natural hand movements and greater productivity. Read documents and e-mail, work with spreadsheets, and cruise the Internet - all with unparalleled speed and efficiency. Advanced navigation features are designed so your hands seldom need to move from the braille display. All buttons can be individually configured to set up “hot keys” for specific functions.

Features

• Freedom Scientific’s exclusive Whiz Wheels® let you scroll by line, sentence, or paragraph, or pan through a document
• Front panel select buttons can be used in combination with panning buttons, rocker bars, and cursor router keys to select a block of text, page up or down, or move to the beginning or end of a document.
• 10 dual-purpose hot keys centered behind the cursor routers give instant access to many braille and JAWS commands. Use these to enable Contracted Braille, switch to display modes such as structured and line mode, or perform keyboard commands like TAB, SHIFT + TAB , HOME and END.
• Rapid Reading Mode configures the display to use only 20 cells of braille for faster reading with minimal hand movement.
• For users who like a Perkins style keyboard, simply remove a cover to make available this logical, structured interface to issue navigation, Windows, and JAWS commands without removing your hands from the display.
• VariBraille allows you to select the firmness of the braille display.

The Focus displays come with a handsome carrying case and a keyboard stand/handle that can be used to set a keyboard or laptop close to the braille display and can be angled for the greatest comfort. Fold the stand, and the FOCUS goes with you.
