HumanWare’s new Brailliant braille display takes reading to a higher and more functional level while introducing new affordable prices.
Montreal, July 5, 2011 — HumanWare unveils a new generation of the renowned Brailliant displays during the National Federation of the Blind and American Council of the Blind conventions taking place this week in Orlando, Florida.

When a market survey revealed that consumers were looking for a braille reading display that maintained compact, high quality, and intuitive to use features yet was affordable to all budgets, HumanWare’s
engineers responded by designing the new Brailliant display.
Intelligent ergonomics
The Brailliant display is designed for extensive reading comfort and easy navigation using HumanWare’s signature thumb keys.
Compact and highly portable, the Brailliant display fits seamlessly in front of a laptop or desktop keyboard for optimum practicality
and ease of use. It can also be used with many preferred mobile devices.
Built with light weight, long lasting aluminum housing, the Brailliant will hold up to daily wear and tear.

Precise and efficient
This new generation of Brailliant displays includes the high quality, sharp and crisp braille cell technology that users have praised on the BrailleNote Apex.
The new Brailliant features a responsive braille keyboard for input and command keys located on each side of the display. This simple layout
facilitates navigation and allows control of the screen reader without shifting hands away from the display.
“As a proud supporter of braille literacy, HumanWare is committed to developing products that help people who are blind fully participate
in the quickly evolving, mobile world around them. After the successful launch of the BrailleNote Apex in 2009, we continue to strive to put
every opportunity in the hands of our customers with innovative braille products that meet their needs and are more affordable,” says Gilles Pepin, CEO of HumanWare.
