Subject: New Product Announcement: Canute Console From Dancing Dots
Dancing Dots introduces the Canute
Console Premium
Would you like to work on a Braille display that shows a whole page
at a time rather than a line at a time?
Would you like to use a high contrast 13" monitor synced to a 360
cell Braille display to collaborate with blind and sighted colleagues,
so both tactile and visual readers have exactly the same information,
layout and spacing?
Would you like to view spreadsheets as properly formatted
reflowing Braille tables, or generate dynamic tactile graphs from
them?
How about looking at live charts of the stock market, or exploring
city maps, creating your own tactile diagrams, playing classic
video games, watching sports or many other spatial
applications?
Would you like to use code snippets to whip up your own
applications, or work with the manufacturer to have a custom
application developed for you?
Across nine lines of spatial Braille — that's 360 cells — all the above
becomes possible.
If so Dancing Dots is pleased to introduce you to the newest edition
to our product range, the Canute Console Premium by Bristol Braille
Technology.
The best way to read and edit documents in Braille
Download and edit documents, Braille files and tables from the web,
company shared drives or USB stick and edit them on the Canute
Console.
Type on a Qwerty keyboard which pulls out on a tray under the
display and tucks away when you want to read without your wrists
pressing keys. A luxurious 360 cells of Braille that maintains print
white-space and centering and lets you read multiple columns of
text or numbers. You can even edit two different documents at the
same time, next to each other, on the same Braille display and still
have 160 cells per document.
With the Canute Console as your workstation you can write better,
review better, and you can collaborate better...
Collaboration between equals, blind or sighted
Would your organization benefit from blind people knowing with
confidence what something looks like visually? Or from sighted
people being able to structure documents in Braille or tactile
graphics without knowing the first thing about Braille?
The Canute Console is the first computer to feature parity of display
for touch readers and visual readers. The visual monitor and the
Braille display update to show the same information with the same
layouts. A blind owner can better check their sighted employee's
work, a sighted colleague can develop a tactile document for their
blind colleague, or two totally blind students can develop a spatial,
visual application without sighted assistance.
With a Braille display that mirrors the visuals, and visuals mirroring
the Braille, it unleashes new creativity in the field of tactile
applications...
Map, watch, play, explore, create, program, then publish
The Canute Console has a unique ability to push the boundaries of
what can be done with Braille and tactile graphics. Using Braille
characters as symbols you can and we have created whole tactile
worlds and experiences that were previously inaccessible by touch.
Console owners can create their own applications without prior
experience by using our system of simple code snippets. But you
don't have to because it comes bundled with programs including:
table viewer, graph generator, a top-down city explorer that
generates 5 yards per cell scale maps of any city, match replay for
broadcast football games with a blow by blow account of the ball
moved across the pitch, the classic arcade game Snake, free-hand
tactile image drawing... and the developers are always working on
more.
With the Canute Console Premium you get development time from
Bristol Braille to help you create your own application, or prototype
one for you and share it others. To date these collaborations have
included graphing, mapping the constellations, drawing early
Germanic runes, midi programming and public transport flow
diagrams.
The Console pairs the power of the Linux terminal, the BRLTTY
screen reader and the not-for-profit ethos of Bristol Braille, with the
ambitions of touch readers, to build a new future for Braille and
tactile graphics...
The Canute Console Premium is available now
Reserve your Canute Console through Dancing Dots to read the
whole page, feel what others are seeing and open up new
professional and personal opportunities.
