Vendors of Paperless Braille Equipment
Paperless Braille Equipement uses tiny pins to simulate braille. These are quite expensive, so it is rare for a display to hold more than 80 characters. Some systems are also designed as portable notetakers (such as the Braille Lite). Others are large systems designed to give access to desktop computers.
