Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing or other special needs!
The ElBraille is a portable Braille computer designed for individuals who are blind or deaf-blind who want to stay connected at school, work, home, or on the go.

- Runs Microsoft 10
- 14 refreshable Braille cells, an 8-dot Perkins-style Braille keyboard
- 160 GB of internal memory
- Rechargeable battery
- Runs approximately 17 to 20 hours on battery
