Introduction
Congratulations! You hold the
manual for the world’s rst
communicator that allows a
user with hearing, voice and
speech impairments to speak in
a synthesized voice, as well as to
recognize and transmit oral speech.
How HaptiBraille
Communicator
works
Type the words you want to say
using the six keys on the front
Braille keyboard and the HaptiBraille
Communicator will voice it in a
synthesized voice. You can hear
your companion with the help of the
HaptiBraille Communicator. Their
words will be recognized, converted
and transmitted to you as vibrations
on your ngertips placed on the
Braille keyboard.
Accessories
In the box you will nd:
• HaptiBraille Communicator
• Micro-USB charging cable with
fast magnetic connection
• Neck strap for HaptiBraille
Communicator so it is always
with you
• Braille user manual with
instructions for usage
• Illustrated user manual for easy
assistance
Appearance
Let’s learn about the appearance
of the device, nd out where the
buttons are located and what they
are used for. Then we will explain
how it all works.

Keyboard and
orientation
Take the HaptiBraille Communicator
in your hands and examine it
by touch.
On one side you will nd keys,
arranged in two rows. This is the
front side of the communicator
where the main 6-key Braille
keyboard is located.
Please note that each key is
numbered and labeled in Braille.
If you cannot tactilely recognize
the numbers labeled in Braille, ask
your assistant to go through this
section in the manual and to show
you the numbering for each key.
At the top of the HaptiBraille
Communicator, you will nd two
elongated main buttons. They are
also numbered in Braille on the
back. Also, you will nd one at
switch here.
At the bottom of the device you will
also nd 4 at switches numbered
in Braille.
4
Front side
Hold the device so that the ngers
of both hands, from index to ring
nger rest on the keys of the 6-key
keyboard. In this case, so that the
thumbs lie on the top of the device,
where the elongated buttons are.
The numbering of the keys on the
6-key keyboard corresponds to the
numbering in Braille. That is, your
index nger of your left hand is on
key #1, which is dot #1 in Braille,
and your ring nger of your right
hand is on key #6, which is dot #6
in Braille.
5
Top side
On the top there are elongated
buttons, which are assigned
numbers 7 and 8. This numbering
has nothing to do with Braille.
These buttons are used for
performing various actions, which
are described further in this manual.
If you take the device correctly, as
described earlier, then button #7 will
be located under the thumb of the
right hand and in some cases will
mean “yes” or “enter” and button #8
will be located under the thumb of
the left hand and will mean “no” or
“back”. Also, to the right of button #7
you can nd the switch #9. Use
it to lock your keyboard against
accidental presses.
• In order to lock the keyboard,
slide switch #9 to the right.
• In order to unlock the keyboard,
slide switch #9 to the left.
6
Bottom side
On the bottom of the device you will
nd 4 switches. Switch #13 turns the
device on and off, and the other 3
switches allow you to congure the
device.
Ports
On the bottom, in the center of the
device, you will nd a place to turn
on the charging. This spot is marked
with a small tactile strip.
7
Charge
The total battery life of the
HaptiBraille Communicator after one
charge is 8 hours, but you can also
use the device while it is charging.
Use the special cord for charging
the communicator, which is included
in the set. In the slot where the
charging cord is inserted, there is a
special magnetic adapter that allows
you to put the device on charging.
Switching on
and off
To turn the device on and off, use
the switch #13. It is located on the
bottom of the device, on the left
side. The switch has two positions.
• In order to turn the device on,
slide switch #13 to the left.
• In order to turn the device off,
slide switch #13 to the right.
When turned on, you will feel
sequential vibrations on your
ngertips on the main six keys.
Installation and
connection
The HaptiBraille Communicator only
works with an Android mobile phone
of version 5.1 for HaptiBraille
App. At the time of the release of
this manual, HaptiBraille application
is available on the Play Store.
It is important to note that for the
speech recognition program to
work, your mobile phone must be
connected to the Internet (mobile or
home). However, you do not need
an Internet connection to speak with
HaptiBraille Communicator or use a
mobile phone.
