The Braille Star 40 is an ergonomically optimized Braille Display with 40 piezoelectric Braille Cells. It is designed to be used with a laptop.

With its integrated Notetaker function, the Braille Star 40 becomes a star. In combination with a keyboard, the Braille Star 40 can be used as a stand-alone notetaker. It is extremely compact and low and is equipped with both a serial and a USB interface.

Each Braille Cell of the Braille Star 40 is equipped with a Cursor Routing Key that allows you to position the cursor at the reading position without lifting a finger from the Braille Display.

The Braille Star 40 can be used with most laptops. The surface for placing the laptop can be varied individually by simply pulling it out. The Braille Star 40 is delivered with a carrying bag that can alternatively be used as a backpack or a shoulder bag.

The Braille Star 40 is equipped with a USB as well as a Serial port, which makes it very flexible to connect. It can be used with a variety of screen-reading products for different operating systems like Windows, Linux and DOS.

The Braille Star 40 is light in weight and compact and can be carried anywhere. With its 20-hour battery capacity, it can be perfectly used mobile during studies and on the job.

With just one keyboard, you can take notes and control the PC. The keyboard directly connected to the Braille Star 40 can be switched between taking notes and controlling the PC. The mounting surface for the laptop on the Braille Star 40 can be adjusted easily by pulling out the sliding mechanism.

The triple-action keys are a newer concept to use many functions with one key. The triple-action keys allow you to activate three functions by pressing the upper or lower part or the middle of the key. The triple-action keys are ergonomically located for the reading hand.

The Braille Star 40 is completely ergonomically designed. The tactile surface of the Braille elements are concavely shaped for the perfect feel. As a result, reading in a relaxed position is a real pleasure for the hand. The function keys fit the natural position of the fingers and are ideal for ergonomical input.

The concave triple action keys are located directly beside the Braille cells of the Braille Star 40. There is no gap between the Braille elements and the edge of the keyboard on top. No disturbing keys are located in between. That means that there is only minimum distance between Braille display and keyboard.
