Actilino 3.0 – Ultra-Portable Braille Display and Note-Taker with Smart Touch Navigation
The Actilino 3.0 is a compact and portable braille display and note-taker designed for users who are blind or visually impaired. Whether you’re commuting, relaxing outdoors, or working at your desk, the Actilino delivers convenience and performance in any setting. Featuring 16 durable piezo ceramic braille cells and a quiet, responsive braille keyboard, this device provides real-time braille output for tactile reading and efficient note-taking.
You can quickly type notes and seamlessly share them with your smartphone or computer via Bluetooth. When paired with your mobile device, the Actilino’s built-in microphone and speakers allow you to make hands-free calls using apps like Skype, FaceTime, or WhatsApp.
Equipped with innovative ATC (Active Tactile Control) technology, the Actilino enables automatic scrolling—continuously moving to the next line of text without needing manual input, much like a touchscreen experience. With its smart features and intuitive design, the Actilino 3.0 is an all-in-one solution for productivity on the go.
Features and Functionality
The Note Taker
The Actilino 3.0 is a fully-featured note-taking device designed to support productivity and independence for blind and visually impaired users. It includes a range of built-in tools such as an easy-to-use text editor, calculator, calendar, timer, and alarm. You can even explore interactive games and learn with integrated support for Music Braille literacy.
Just power on the Actilino and start writing—no need for additional software. With a simple keystroke, you can send your notes directly to a smartphone or computer, making it easy to stay organized and connected.
Nonstop Reading
Whether you’re new to braille or an experienced reader, the Actilino 3.0 delivers a smooth and effortless reading experience. Its built-in microSD card lets you store thousands of braille books—so you’ll never run out of reading material. And thanks to automatic scrolling with Active Tactile Control (ATC) technology, you can read continuously without pressing any buttons.
ATC detects your exact finger position on the braille display in real time and adjusts the scrolling accordingly. You can even fine-tune the sensitivity, making it perfect for learners and seasoned braille readers alike.
Your Control Center
The Actilino 3.0 is more than a braille display—it’s your portable hub for communication, control, and content access. With braille and speech output, text input, and PC or mobile device control, the Actilino keeps you in charge of your digital life.
It connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and includes built-in speakers, a microphone, and a headphone jack. You can pair with up to four devices at once—three over Bluetooth and one via USB—for a seamless multitasking experience. Actilino also supports Bluetooth Audio, so you can hear your screen reader through the speakers or privately through headphones.
The Ultimate Mini Braille Display
Compact yet powerful, the Actilino 3.0 combines braille display and note-taker functionality in one lightweight device. With built-in HID (Human Interface Device) support, your computer will recognize the Actilino automatically—no drivers needed. It’s compatible with leading screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, and SuperNova, and works effortlessly over Bluetooth or USB. You can also connect to devices running iOS, Android, or Chrome OS thanks to multi-platform Bluetooth compatibility.
Enjoy the Ergonomics
Designed with comfort in mind, the Actilino’s braille input keys are positioned for easy typing, while the centrally located control stick is accessible with your thumbs for smooth navigation. With ATC-powered reading position detection and Handy Tech’s signature concave braille cells, users can enjoy a relaxed, ergonomic reading and writing experience—without the need for constant key presses.
