- Unveiling Canute Scientific from Bristol Braille Technology (Episode 76)
Join Ed Rogers of Bristol Braille Technology as he lifts the lid on Canute Scientific, the next generation of multi-line braille technology designed specifically for blind people working, studying or exploring Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). Based on the already popular Canute Console multi-line braille workstation, but with an upgraded system board, new chassis, greater connectivity options, roadmap for future development and a suite of custom applications designed with feedback and advice from braille readers at the forefront, BBT truly believes this is their best product to date.
IN this episode, Ed will:
- Explain how Canute Scientific came to be and who will benefit most from it
- Describe the physical layout and appearance of Canute Scientific and how it differs from Canute Console
- Introduce Canute Scientific’s operating system and user interface
- Demonstrate some of the applications developed specifically for Canute Scientific
- Outline which features will also be available to Canute Console owners
- Explain the upgrade options available to owners of Canute Console and Canute 360
With thanks to Bristol Braille Technology CIC for sponsoring this episode.
