The newest mini and supermini from BAUM: Communication was never so easy and compact

More and more there is a wish for both reading Braille and writing Braille when on the move. BAUM is Trendsetter in developing accompanying Braille Interfaces and again BAUM pushed the limits further away of creating both attractive and robust mobile devices for blind and visually impaired people.

VarioConnect 24: The Mini

For those Users (maybe persons suffering from Deaf-blindness) who like to write a bit more and have higher demands to a Braille keyboard, we offer an only slightly larger alternative: VarioConnect 24 with a built-in 8-dot Braille keyboard. Aside of offering a Braille keyboard enabling easier typing, though resulting somewhat in a compromise in size, the VarioConnect 24 also offers an interface possibility through USB. Nevertheless the VarioConnect 24 can be carried in your pocket!

VarioConnect 32 and 40: Without compromise

The VarioConnect 32 and 40 have been developed to fit sub-notebooks and notebooks offering the Users the choice of using the notebook keyboard or the incorporated 8-dot Braille keyboard on top of the VarioConnect. You can use VarioConnect both with a notebook or a PC in a comfortable way as well as on the move when combining the VarioConnect 32 or 40 with your mobile device – without a compromise!.

Screen Readers

VIRGO4 and BLINDOWS screen readers and their mutual successor called COBRA – to be released in the second half of 2007 – will support all VarioConnect Braille Interfaces in an optimum manner. Almost all other screen readers will function as well. Our aim is for you to rely less and less on a screen reader and for you to be able carry out your work easily and efficiently using only your VarioConnect Braille Interface – the screen reader should then only be regarded as a support function in this work
