Unveiling Canute Scientific from Bristol Braille Technology (Episode 76)

40 minutes

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
