Re: Has anyone ever heard of this refreshable Braille display
Yeah, Dotbook, it's a bit thick, but, seeing other braille displays are in 100000s rupee range mark, And the DotBook has many builtin applications such as E-mail, document editor, calculator etc, can directly connect to Bookshare and get books, and You can also get it with a perkins style buttons layout. It Has USB and wifi so you can connect it to whatever device and get braille output. It is marketed as a Braille laptop. It's better than those expensive models. Specially, when India is such a price sensitive market and 1000$, that is a lot of money in India. I think the 40 cell Dotbook is around 40000 rupees and the 20 cell is around 35000 rupees. The official website is: https://iable.co/
The Distribution and retail part of DotBook is not yet clear to me, but you can contact an Indian NGO "Saksham" at http://saksham.org/
I've seen BrailleMe device being sold for as low as 18000 rupees, but that was due to student discounts and what not. Currently, the price of BrailleMe is 28350 rupees, which is less than $400. And no, the company is not shut down, They might not be able to supply units due to lock-down in India. Here's the official website: http://innovisiontech.co/
You can check the pricing here: http://saktek.in/brailleme-from-innovision.html
