Monarch - Multi Line Braille Tablet

Monarch — The 1st dynamic tactile and multi-line braille tablet

Advanced braille reading and real-time tactile interaction providing equal access to information

Take flight with the Monarch, a revolutionary multiline braille device that renders tactile graphics integrated with braille on a 10-line by 32-cell refreshable display. With access to downloadable digital textbooks and APH’s Tactile Graphics Image Library (TGIL), the Monarch significantly reduces the time to fingertips for users who are blind or have visual impairment.

The Monarch is more than a braille display – it’s a graphing calculator, an e-book reader, a brailler, and more! It represents a shift toward an inclusive landscape, breaking down barriers and paving the way for a future where everyone can enjoy equal access to information.

It makes a big difference to get my hands on a device made for relevant educational activities. The Monarch is a joy to use and its potential is enormous!

With the Monarch, I no longer have to settle for reading a book in small snippets. For the first time, I can download novels from Bookshare and access multiple lines of each page simultaneously, similar to the way a sighted reader would.

My students love the graph function! We've completed trigonometric equations with sine and cosine - and it shows them in real time instead of taking 10 minutes to complete a graph - it makes my life so much easier.

Providing our students with earlier access and giving them more graphics is going to do AMAZING things for their spacial ability.
