Transform Your Braille Reading Experience with HumanWare’s New Firmware Update!

HumanWare is excited to announce the release of their latest firmware update for the Brailliant BI X and Mantis braille displays. This update brings several enhancements to the Braille Editor, introduces new customization options for command keys, welcomes ODT file support and adds dynamic menus for a better online DAISY library experience. These improvements are designed to enhance your productivity, provide a more personalized reading experience, and ensure you have the tools to manage your braille documents effectively. Here’s what’s new:

New features in the braille editor:

The Braille Editor now presents your braille documents in a formatted way. This means better organization and a more readable structure, enhancing your reading and writing experience. This update allows you to prepare braille documents how you want, using your desired line and page length. At any time, you can always find your position with the “Where am I” shortcut, which will give the exact position of your cursor.

If that is not enough, a preview mode can be viewed, which shows format markets and allows you to proofread how your braille document will be embossed.
