Focus 14 Blue Generation 5 – Ultra-Portable Braille Display!
The fifth generation of the Focus 14 Blue braille display is more rugged and stronger than ever.
The Focus 14 Blue combines comfort, portability, and advanced features for the ultimate go-anywhere Braille interface device. A highly responsive 8-dot keyboard and seamless USB-C and Bluetooth® 4.1 connectivity make the Focus 14 Blue the ideal note-taking companion for smartphones, iPads®, tablets, and other mobile devices.
Focus® 14 Blue Generation 5, the most RUGGED portable Braille Display available, has been drop tested to US Military Standard MIL-STD-810G.
A single smooth cell cap covers the Braille, so you feel only the Braille pins, no seams. Special attention has been paid to the dot keys and spacebar to ensure smooth positive feedback and quiet operation. The Braille pins have been retooled to provide a crisper, more uniform feel that you’ll notice with your first reading.
The Scratchpad feature allows reading of BRF braille documents and books on the included microSD card and also the taking of notes without having to connect to another device.
