How is Braille Me so low cost as compared to other braille displays?
Most other braille displays use piezo-electric technology for their braille cells, which is
an expensve approach. Innovision has developed and patented a unique
magnetic framework which reduces cost immensely while keeping the functionality
intact. Also, cost optimization has been implemented at every stage from
manufacturing to distribution to cater to a larger customer segment.

Why is the device 6 dot and not 8 dot? How do you show cursor in 6 dot?
The pressing dilemma at hand was whether to go for an 8 dot system for its utility or
a 6 dot device for its cost efficacy. Therefore, we came up with a solution to
integrate the cursor in the 6 dot module, thus, keeping the device operational and
efficient at a lower cost while also being more accessible to the public.
There are two modes of displaying the cursor: In the first mode, the cursor blinks on
the display, with the pins of the character being highlighted upright while the rest of
the pins in periodic up and down motion. In the second mode, the manually
triggered mode that is, the user has to press the Up + Down navigation keys
simultaneously which results in a blank screen with only the cell accommodating the
cursor to show up. Press the same combination keys again to revert changes. Refer
to the manual for more details.
