Overview of the Braille Trail Reader LE
Introduction
The Braille Trail Reader LE is a braille terminal that can be used with virtually any screen reader
on the market, including screen readers installed on, or already part of, mobile device operating
systems (smartphones and tablets). The Braille Trail Reader can also work in application mode,
where you can use one of the applications present in the device. The notes in the device may be
synchronized with your other devices over the internet, using servers such as Gmail or any email
server. This unique feature allows you to use your notes instantly after turning on the device,
and still keep them synchronized with data on other devices. Using the Braille Trail Reader File
Transfer Windows application, you can also transfer text (.txt) and braille ready fles (.brf) you
would like to read to the Braille Trail Reader.
The internet connection for synchronization is performed over Bluetooth Low Energy and a
smartphone with a data plan, thus does not take much power from the phone or Braille Trail
Reader. It can also be used with a tablet without a data plan as long as it is connected to Wi-Fi.
