Braille terminal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Braille Lite terminal has six keys, a space bar, an 18-cell refreshable braille display, and a speaker.
A braille terminal is a computer input device that follows the braille system of writing for the blind. With a pure braille terminal, input is performed by two sets of three keys plus a space bar (as in the Perkins Brailler), while output is via a refreshable braille display consisting of a row of electromechanical character cells, each of which can raise or lower a combination of six round-tipped pins. Other variants exist that use a conventional QWERTY keyboard for input and braille pins for output, as well as input-only and output-only devices.
