    The Third Expert Table Talk: Controlling your Devices with a braille display

    The third webinar in the European Blind Union’s Braille Working Group series focused on controlling your device with a braille display. The session explored practical ways of navigating smartphones and computers, using command keys and braille keyboard input, and making everyday device control more efficient through refreshable braille technology. Part of the “four C’s” concept, this webinar followed the sessions on connecting and consuming, and highlighted how braille displays can serve not only for reading, but also for active and independent control of digital devices.

    The Second Expert Table Talk: Consuming the content on your braille display

    After our highly successful introduction, where we untangled the web of possible connections between Braille displays and various devices, we now turn to actually reading and consuming, information on your Braille display. The topics will include: • What if the characters I see on my Braille display are not what I expect? Do I need to learn another Braille code, or is it simply the matter of adjusting the settings?? • What are all of these abbreviations taking up precious space on my Braille display? How can I customize them and reclaim some valuable display real estate? • Is there a way to improve my reading speed? How can I become more efficient, especially when reading aloud? This time, each of our panelists presented a few practical ideas, and then opened up the floor for comments, questions and suggestions of our participants.
