Stick it through BrailleBlaster or Duxbury, and your wish is granted.
All the best

I wish it was possible for RNIB Newsagent files to be made available in BRF
format so that these could be read on the Canute. There are TXT and EPUB
versions so surely BRF is possible?
Kind regards,

George, did you hear the piece, either on Tech Talk or Intouch which
referred to someone returning a Canute due to it heating up to a point where
they found it uncomfortable to have on their lap? From memory I think the
temperature mentioned was 42C. Before anyone says to put the unit on a
surface, there are plenty of us who have traditionally read Braille books on
our laps, so it is hardly surprising that a Canute user might do the same.
Is the device prone to high temperatures when used for an hour?

Hi Jeff,
Yes it is currently standalone. (That will change in due course)
It does not have cursor routing keys. (Yet!)
It has been developed primarily as an e-book reader for *brf Files.
(Braille Ready Format) There are literally thousands of brf files/books
available world-wide and on all manner of subjects.
Having 9 lines of 40 cells is a major advantage with specific things like
math, tables and music for example. At £1,895 ex VAT, theres not a lot to
beat that.
Ill be frank and say that its not going to suit all braille readers, but
those who have received one so far, are very pleased. One even said that it
was a real pleasure not to have to constantly press a new line.
That said, the potential to reduce the use of braille paper, is also a
factor. Id also risk saying that we are currently looking at working with
Duxbury as a means of proofing rather than producing hard copy to be read
once and thrown away.

I THINK WHAT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW IS IT STAND ALONE OR WORKS VIA A
COMPUTER?
Also does it have routing keys?
