You might be familiar with many functions of the Canute 360 from Bristol Braille Technology, but did you know it can work seamlessly with the widely popular Duxbury Braille Translator? When connected to a Windows machine, the Canute can output Braille text in real-time using Duxbury’s six-key Braille entry, or display any translated text loaded into the application.
This added functionality can significantly enhance the usability of the Canute 360, particularly for those who need to quickly navigate content in a multi-line environment. If you already have Duxbury and the Canute 360, you’re set to go!
Join Bristol Braille Technology’s Ed Rogers and Sight and Sound Technology’s Stuart Lawler to learn not only how to set up this integration but also explore a variety of use cases. Don’t miss this opportunity to maximize your Canute 360 experience!

Carveco are excited to invite you to “Touch: Beyond Vision”, an inclusive exhibition that reimagines how we experience art.
Join them at the iconic OXO Tower in London for a unique event where visual culture is brought to life through the sense of touch.
This exhibition is designed especially for blind and visually impaired visitors, but it’s open to everyone—artists, educators, families, and accessibility advocates alike.
This is a movement in consumerising Art for the visually impaired. Using our new AI driven technology, we aim to demonstrate how accessibility and design can intersect in real-world, creative applications and make it accessible to anyone with visual impairment. It also provides a platform to connect with others committed to inclusive practices — including educators, artists, charities, and advocates.
We’d be delighted to have you join us, not only to explore the exhibition, but to discuss potential ways we might collaborate further in supporting accessibility through design and technology.
If you’re interested in attending or know anyone who nay be, please don’t hesitate to use the links below to register your interest.
