BrailleKeyG2 is a revolutionary new solution from Portset to provide Grade 2 Braille input to a Personal Computer or Laptop. Not only are there the principal Braille keys but additional keys provide full cursor control, Ctrl and Alt functions. There are also corded functions such as TAB, ESC and Grade 1 Braille.
BrailleKey G2 is connected to the USB port and is self registered by the operating system.
The 6 Braille input keys are arranged in a standard Braille line, with space, backspace delete and new line keys ergonomically located below the Braille keys. A further lower line of keys provide on the left side, Ctrl and Alt, while on the right side is a cluster of 4 keys giving full cursor control.
Corded functions are provided by incorporating the space bar with a key combination. For example letter A is produced by key 1 and space together. The ESC or Escape key is key 4,5,6 and space together.
BrailleKey G2 when connected via the USB port provides the input of Grade 2 Braille to create text documents. BrailleKey G2 can act as a direct replacement for a normal keyboard in a Windows environment. Based on British Braille, BrailleKey G2 supports contractions, groupsigns, wordsigns and shortforms.
The case has a sloped face and a compact size of 220mm (8.6ins) wide, 111mm (4.2ins) deep, 20mm (0.7ins) front height and 40mm (1.6ins) rear height. This makes it an ideal companion to both desk-top and portable systems.
BrailleKey G2
does not need any drivers or software to be installed
onto the computer.
