All functions of an electronic typewriter are available; i.e. tabulator, margin release, variable line spacing. It is also able to write in 6-dots- or 8-dots-Braille and can also be connected with your computer with a terminal program. You’ll be able to write directly on your computer and save your written documents.

Display

Using the attachable USB keyboard it is possible to enter black font in the machine that is embossed directly in Braille. Non-blind people are able to read along due to an integrated display which shows 2 line with 20 characters each.

Handling

The Elotype 5 can be switched in one-hand operation and therefore be used with just one hand or even one finger.

Printer

Via USB interface the ELOTYPE 5 can be used as a personal braille printer on the computer. Both, single sheets and fanfold peaper (with tractor) are applicable.

Graphic braille printer

The ELOTYPE 5 is able to print drawings very precisely. Graphics can be made by the new Software “TactileView”. After converting the picture into a dot pattern the graphic will be sent via serial cable to the ELOTYPE 5.

Stronger foils can be embossed by multiple strokes. Of course, we also offer usable foils.
