Both a Braille Display & a Braille Keyboard in One – It’s pretty Smart!

Slim, sleek and beautiful, the Smart Beetle’s 14 cell refreshable braille is the perfect complement to your smartphone or tablet for Braille access on the go. Small enough to hold in your hand, operate up to 6 devices at once. Use it as a traditional Braille display, or use the Braille keyboard like a QWERTY keyboard with our patented Bluetooth keyboard function.

Ultra-Portable 14-Cell Braille Display with 5 Simultaneous Bluetooth Connections.

The Smart Beetle is a 14-cell Braille display that brings the world to your  fingertips. It’s the lightest, most portable Braille display available. Take it with you to school, to work or on vacation and have reliable, discrete access to all of your mobile devices and personal computer  systems.

Five Simultaneous Bluetooth Connections!

Save time and frustration by pairing up to 6 devices (5 Bluetooth + 1 USB) to your Smart Beetle simultaneously. Connect to your phone, tablet, work computer, home computer and more — No unnecessary pairing or re-pairing  to your Bluetooth devices required. Smart Beetle remembers five Bluetooth devices and offers a USB 2.0 connection for a sixth.

Compatible with Popular Screen Readers

Smart Beetle will connect as a Braille terminal with screen readers including JAWS, Window-Eyes, SuperNova, System Access, Voice- Over for Mac and iOS, BrailleBack for Android, Mobile Speak, and TALKS. Using Braille and speech together provides even more options for you to navigate various document types and formats.

Revolutionary Bluetooth Keyboard

Use the Smart Beetle’s Perkins-style keyboard to emulate all the functions of a QWERTY keyboard. This eliminates translation problems with mobile devices and gets rid of the sluggishness experienced with other Braille displays and mobile devices.

Long-lasting Battery and Helpful Audio Prompts

Stay connected via Bluetooth for up to 24 hours without the need to recharge. For even longer run time, connect via USB and enjoy all the great features of Smart Beetle while simultaneously charging the unit. Convenient audio prompts let you know when Smart Beetle powers on, the status of Bluetooth connections and more.
