You can do so much more with nine lines

“Because of Canute I am reading for pleasure again”

Stephanie Sergeant – Vision Through Sound

Canute 360 has nine lines, 360 cells, which allows the reader to get the full context of the text, not just a fragment.

• Read literary Braille in whole paragraphs.
• Read tables and lists, not single items.
• Read code in whole functions.
• Read mathematical matrices and algebraic problems.
• Read both hands of sheet music on one page.
• Read bar charts and other tactile diagrams.

In other words, read Braille as Louis intended, and more! What can Canute do for you?

Braille is Literacy, Employment and Independence

The Canute 360 electronic braille reader is designed to be used like “a Kindle for blind people”. 

Before the Canute 360, electronic braille was only a single line or even only a handful of characters. Imagine trying to read a book on a small calculator display!

Braille was only available in bulky paper Braille books (The Lord of the Rings in Braille takes up 4ft square of storage!). Imagine the space needed for even the smallest personal library and the inconvenience of carrying a multi-volume paperback. 

With Canute 360’s multiline design, instead of puzzling to reassemble awkwardly divided words and sentences, the reader rapidly reads texts while having an overview of the paragraph and on a third of the page layout. This can even be done with two hands!

With the Canute 360’s SD card and USB pen drive, the reader can carry hundreds of  BRF files books that are easily downloaded from their favourite online libraries. No more lugging around volumes of paper braille, finding somewhere to store them, or needing to wait for deliveries of Braille books! 

In addition, the Canute 360 allows the reader to read books continuously as the page refreshes from the top, place bookmarks, switch between chapters and skip between books with the menu system to enjoy reading their favourite novels.  

Reading Braille has never been such a pleasure!
