Take flight with the Monarch, a multiline braille device that renders tactile graphics integrated with braille on the first-of-its-kind 10-line by 32-cell refreshable braille display. With access to downloadable digital textbooks and APH’s Tactile Graphics Image Library (TGIL), the Monarch drastically reduces time to fingertips for users who are blind and low vision.
On Monarch, educational resources are readily available, cutting down on the need for specialized materials and additional classroom expenses. Time that would have been spent adapting lesson plans and creating materials is dramatically decreased, allowing educators to focus on what truly matters – teaching. With over 2000 graphics in the TGIL and connection to a variety of online libraries, students can take control of their learning journey, exploring concepts and ideas with newfound freedom.
And the Monarch isn’t just a braille display – it’s a graphing calculator, a library, a brailler, and so much more! It represents a shift to breaking down barriers and paving the way for a future where every individual who is blind or low vision can enjoy equal access to information.
The Monarch comes loaded with applications powered by HumanWare’s KeySoft Accessibility suite including:
KeyWord, a Word processor supporting MathML, .docx, .doc, .txt, and PDF files
KeyWord allows users to receive a Word document, read and edit in braille, and then send it back in its original print format without any additional steps. This includes math content created in Microsoft Word’s equation editor which Monarch will translate into either Nemeth or UEB Math/Science!
KeyMath, a graphing calculator created in partnership with Desmos that allows students to graph tactile functions on demand
Tactile Viewer, a tactile graphic viewing app which connects via WiFi to APH’s Tactile Graphics Image Library and can display graphics in JPG, PNG, and PDF formats
Victor Reader, which connects users to hundreds of literary titles through online libraries including Bookshare and is compatible with Daisy and ePUB files
APH is currently developing lots of other fun educational applications for Monarch! One such app is Monarch Chess which gamifies the point-and-click gesture for easy learning and features a built-in tutorial that teaches users how to play. Stay tuned for new releases!
Additional resources can be found on the Meet Monarch page.
