1: Introduction
This easy-to-use Braille keyboard will substitute the common keyboard of your
PC with only 17 keys. Galatee is a very versatile and handy allrounder, that will
guarantee a fast and efficient operation of your computer! Plug and Play! Use
the included USB-cable to connect Galatee to your PC. Galatee operates with
all well-established USB versions. The Braille keyboard is ready to use
immediately, time-consuming driver setups are no longer necessary. Galatee
will not only win you over with its elegant design, but also with its ergonomically
shaped keys, which support a slightly angular and therefore more comfortable
and less tense hand posture. The keystroke is extremely smooth and the
rubber surface of every single key combines good grip.
2: Description of the device
To become familiar with the device, place it in front of you so that the keys are
on top and the ergonomically designed 8 keys for the Braille input are facing
away from you.
Starting from the center these keys have the following functions: on the left side
you will find Braille key 1, 2 and 3 plus the backspace key (the outermost key
on the left side). On the right side you will find Braille key 4, 5 and 6 plus the
Enter key (the outermost key on the right side).
Right bellow the Braille keys, you will find another 4 keys. From left to right,
these 4 keys have the following functions:
Backspace / Space Key / Space Key / Enter Key
Right between the Braille key 1 and the Braille key 4, you will find 4 small,
round keys. These are the cursor keys (cursor up, down, right and left). On the
left hand corner of the GalaTee, you will find another small round key, which
enables you to set the right version of your keyboard (see next chapter).
