Android as an os has come a long way and is very accessible. The bigger problem is why they are using such outdated specs when the updated versions are far more accessible.

I wondered that, too.  It will be interesting to see how this new product fares.

Todd,

I read in Blind Bargains that this device uses Android. I wonder how it will compare to the Braille Plus.

Farewell to Publisher, Diane Croft

  <http://nbp.convio.net/images/content/pagebuilder/diane.jpg> Publisher Diane Croft will step down in April 2016 after 34 years of service to NBP and to the blindness community. Diane is excited to embark on this next stage in her career, devoting full-time to publishing under a new imprint, Interleaf Press, and the release of her book on the collective unconscious this summer. 

"I consider myself the luckiest person in the world to have had the privilege and honor of working in this community for so many years," said Diane. "At NBP, I work alongside a group of enormously talented, hardworking individuals, who care deeply about braille. Stepping away from what I know and love is hard, but change also brings new energy and creativity." 

We will miss you, Diane, but know this next chapter in your career will be a wonderful journey. Good luck!

NBP is 89 Years and Counting! 

  <http://nbp.convio.net/images/content/pagebuilder/NBP_front_door_with_sign.jpg> NBP is celebrating our 89th year of producing high quality braille! 

In today's digital world, some may ask if braille is still relevant. 

Our reply: nothing substitutes for the ability to read and braille is an essential tool in the process of becoming literate. Tape recorders and synthesized speech are useful tools, but they can't replace the ability to read and write.

Encourage your company, a restaurant you frequent, or those you do business with to produce their materials in braille. As Stevie Wonder said at the Grammy's, "We need to make every single thing accessible to every person with a disability." Well said, Stevie!
