operate the Braille display. Often used PC keyboard functions are accessible from every
hand position on the horizontal Braille display. In this way, your reading hand/s stay at their
proper place. No longer will the user search or count out keys which is quite annoying.
Additional hand movements or a constant re-orientation in the reading window will no more
be necessary. Therefore, your work becomes much faster and more effective.
The Easy Access Bar is a long single lever (like a space bar) situated on the front side.
Almost as large as the Braille display itself, the Easy Access Bar is completely integrated into
the device. From every reading position, you operate the Easy Access Bar using the thumb/s
of your left and your right hand. No matter on which position you are, you can push the Easy
Access Bar in all four directions. Thus, the corresponding thumb makes a minimal movement
while the pressure remains the same. Pushing the bar in one of the four directions, a switch
or sensor will be operated which executes the desired function. The rubber profiled front of
the bar gives your thumbs enough grip to activate these keys.
Among the usual functions of a Braille display, the unit with Easy Access Bar offers access to
PC keyboard functions at the reading position. Many operations and settings of the screen
reader software are therefore concentrated on an easily accessible position. Left- and right-
handed persons are able to operate the Easy Access Bar. It is even possible to perform the
operation with one hand only. The key functions of the Easy Access Bar can be set
individually.
Despite all functionality, the well-proven safety and the solid-rock construction of the
BRAILLEX devices stay the same. This is possible because of specific materials and a
precise way of construction..
