Bristol Braille Technology
Affordable Braille is essential for blind literacy, education and employment, yet Braille use has been declining for decades due to stagnant technology. Bristol Braille Technology is building a revolutionary and radically affordable Braille ereader for blind people called Canute, designed with and by the blind community.
A quote from RNIB about Canute:
“With Bristol Braille’s Canute, you will be able to condense your braille library into one simple reading device”
The Canute is the world’s first multiple line Braille ereader — forty characters per line by nine lines — and we intend to distribute it for the price of a Perkins typewriter or iPhone.
That’s around £600–800; or 20x cheaper per cell than existing digital Braille devices.
We aim to release the Canute Winter 2017 or Spring 2018.
