Traditional Braille keyboards for the blind are bulky, expensive and extremely inconvenient to use. However, Tdot revolutionizes these shortcomings all at once. By changing the Perkins structure of the traditional blind braille keyboard to a T-shaped folding structure, the width is reduced by about half, the weight is reduced by about one-tenth, and the price is reduced by about one-tenth, which is improved to the smallest light structure that can be held with one hand (59 grams). It not only can input and output braille, but also enhances navigation through 12 input keys and 1 JOG (direction) key, which is not only faster and more convenient than traditional keyboard input, but also improves the accessibility of applications. In addition, based on the Bluetooth function, it can be used anytime, anywhere.
