The ALVA BC640 merges classic Braille display access with modern notetaking functionality. Its 40-cell Braille display provides optimal reading comfort in an ultra slim design. The ALVA BC640's ergonomically designed Smartpad with its four buttons and joystick provide instant access and smart navigation to mainstream devices. Optelec's strategically positioned eTouch buttons at either end of the Braille display allow for quick and efficient access to countless applications to one's cellular phone, PDA and Windows-based PC.
