Who Should Use the b.note 40 Braille Display?
Use b.note at school
Braille displays for school need to be robust and powerful. For this, there is no match for b.note. The b.note braille display is precision-designed in Europe to be light and comfortable to use for long periods of time, and robust enough to keep up with the school environment. b.note boasts powerful internal notetaking features, as well as modern connectivity. And if you really want power, use b.note with the esysuite software on your PC and turn your b.note into a full braille notetaker; complete with braille math and even music creation, editing and translation between print and braille.
Use b.note at work
If you want to be sure you have enough battery and wrist strength to get through your workday, look to b.note. The battery inside b.note will last up to 15 hours. And, if you need a boost, the special USB-C charger will bring back 30% of your battery in only 25 minutes!
The design and special features of b.note will also help keep you working comfortably long enough to run through an entire workday. The precision-designed housing and keys on b.note feel good and keys press easily and solidly. Plus, hand movement is significantly reduced, thanks to unique curser routing keys that double as backward/forward buttons.
Use b.note at home
Like to make music? Or maybe you’re a tech geek. Either way, you’ll have fun with b.note at home. b.note offers unique functions (with esysuite software) to import and compose your own musical scores. And you can display music as standard print, braille or both.
Either way, connect away with b.note! You can connect b.note to 5 Bluetooth devices and quickly switch between them. You can even transfer files through Bluetooth.
Features and Functionality
The B.Note offers seamless connectivity through USB-C or Bluetooth, allowing users to pair the braille display with computers, smartphones, and tablets. A standout feature is its ability to wirelessly transfer files via Bluetooth—currently supported on PC and Android—giving users even more freedom from cables.
Compatibility is never an issue with the B.Note. It works smoothly with Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and major screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, SuperNova, VoiceOver, TalkBack, and BrailleBack.
One of the most innovative elements is its unique cursor routing keys. In addition to standard cursor placement, the keys allow you to move forward or backward through text with a simple press—minimizing hand movement and reducing wrist strain. Light presses activate navigation, while firm presses perform the traditional cursor routing function.
The B.Note is also customizable. Users can reassign control key functions to suit left- or right-handed use. This level of adaptability ensures maximum comfort and usability for all users.
Connectivity
The B.Note Braille Display offers versatile connectivity for a wide range of devices. You can connect using a USB-C cable or wirelessly via Bluetooth, making it easy to integrate with computers, smartphones, and tablets. A unique feature of the B.Note is its ability to wirelessly transfer files through the Bluetooth connection—currently available for PC and Android. This gives users added convenience when managing documents and data across platforms.
Compatibility
Designed for broad compatibility, the b.note works seamlessly with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android operating systems. It supports all major screen readers, including JAWS, NVDA, SuperNova, VoiceOver, TalkBack, and BrailleBack. Whether you’re using a desktop at work, a tablet in the classroom, or a smartphone on the go, this braille display offers a smooth and responsive experience across all your devices.
Ergonomic Design
The b.note was engineered with user comfort in mind. Its innovative routing keys serve dual functions—acting both as standard cursor routing buttons and as navigation controls. With a light press, you can scroll forward or backward through text without removing your hands from the display. A stronger press performs the traditional cursor routing function. This design helps minimize hand movement, reduce strain, and improve workflow efficiency.
Modern and Durable
Crafted with European precision, the b.note features a robust housing and tactile keys that offer satisfying feedback and durability. The device includes a built-in rubber bumper to enhance grip and protect the unit from accidental drops—perfect for users who are always on the move.
Customizable
The b.note adapts to your personal preferences. Whether you’re left- or right-handed, you can easily swap the functions of the control keys in the settings menu to better suit your dominant hand. This level of customization ensures optimal usability for every user.
Battery and Charging
Designed for extended use, the b.note provides up to 15 hours of continuous operation on a single charge. When it’s time to recharge, the USB-C port supports rapid charging—30% battery in just 25 minutes and up to 80% in only an hour and a half. This fast-charging capability keeps you productive with minimal downtime.
