EB Notetaker/Notebook b.book 32 cells
- b.book is a new generation Braille device. This is a notetaker, a Braille computer and a Braille display, all-in-one, compact and autonomous.
- b.book is equipped with a 32-cell braille display, a 10-key keyboard, 2 joysticks, 6 function keys, and a 10-hour battery life.
- Same as bnote braille display, the routing cursor keys of b.book have a double function : a slight click will move the display forward or backward whereas a stronger click will select or validate.
- For sure, the arrow keys can also be used for this forward/backward feature.
A real braille computer
- No need for a computer/braille display setup, you will be able to navigate through the Internet or manage your emails thanks to Wifi connection : b.book will do the job !
- Even though the integrated software esysuite provides a screen reader feature, a blind user may still use any other screen reader available in the market : Jaws, Supernova, … or other compatible Windows softwares needed.
- Using its Braille terminal mode, b.book can be connected to your computer, smartphone or tablet for reading or working via Bluetooth or USB port.
- External peripherals such as printers or scanners can be connected to b.book as well.
esysuite, the powerful built-in software
- The integrated esysuite software, that was already set in the esytime evolution device, has already proven itself and remains a sure value in the world of education and teaching for the blind.
- esysuite will turn b.book into a notebook independent of Windows 10, and not requiring advanced computer skills.
- As it evolves, esysuite regularly adds new features for Braille users.
- esysuite consists of several software modules:
- esynote : offers different types of Braille in a same document, such as 8-dot computer Braille, Grade 1 and Grade 2 (contracted Braille), mathematics (scientific calculations) Braille code and international Braille music code. Therefore, a single document can be printed in braille or black. esynote does the conversion work for the black printing document.
- esyfile : file manager to organize your files and datas.
- esycalc : scientific calculator
- esyschool : manages the schedule, timeline and homework of the student.
- OCR function : can scan documents, display braille characters and use the speech synthesis when combined with a scanner. It turns book into a reading machine.
- High quality speech synthesis.
