Hable One™ Braille Keyboard

The Hable One is a game-changer. This compact device has made smartphone navigation effortless, even when your phone is in your bag or pocket, a safer way to use your phone when on the go which made me feel much less vulnerable using my smartphone in public. Intuitive commands make the Hable easy to learn, providing a easier alternative to using gestures with voiceover. Was great for brushing up my braille skills too, although you do not need to know braille to benefit from this device. I honestly cannot fault the Hable or their customer service, with 30 mins training with Hable included, the process was faultless. How did I ever manage without it?! Excellent value, well made and lightweight. Highly Recommended!

I am a person with (partial) Blindness/Visually Impaired, writing this review for fellow BVI community members and their loved ones. I am a user of this product and can fully attest to the impact of this product. They can ship it to customers throughout the world; it supports both iPhone and Android and most common languages as well as Grade I and Grade II Braille. Customer service is outstanding; I literally just enjoyed a half hour call with the inventor of the product, who I believe is also the CEO of the company, free of charge via Zoom, to help acquaint me with the device. They answer emails and WhatsApp messages directly. They have incorporated many hours of product design and testing in focus groups with community members into the design and functionality of the device. It works as advertised. It also is priced incredibly advantageously for an article of assistive technology. It is compact, durable, and light.The Hable as a device is a significant help for navigating one’s smartphone in the Sighted world. When combined with a Bluetooth earphone, it enables navigation of one’s smartphone without needing to even handle said smartphone. Which means, if one is like myself and lives independently in an urban setting, I am able to fully utilize my smartphone without having to either expose my iPhone 15 Pro Max to the elements or broadcast to anyone who might be watching The Blind Guy as an easy mark that I’m carrying a coveted $2k piece of technology on my person. It’s incredibly easy and intuitive to use the Dot 6 keyboard commands to control my iPhone. They also have mapped the Braille alphabet to the alphanumeric keyboard as we would expect (dots 1 and 2 map to the letter b, for instance), allowing direct keyboard entry of text using Braille; this makes writing significantly faster and more intuitive than using hunt and peck via VoiceOver on iPhone (or equivalent on Android). It understands Grade II contractions, the numerals, and punctuation.In sum, this is a legit product from a legit company that legitimately works as advertised, is supported by excellent customer service, and is priced very attractively. Highly recommended for nearly any member of the BVI community.

Het kost wel even tijd om het te leren, maar bij vragen reageren ze ook snel op je mail. Je krijgt er een stuk privacy en zelfredzaamheid voor terug. Het type in braille gaat super makkelijk en je hebt wat meer controle over waar je bent in je toestel.

I really enjoy this device.

Es ist eine tolle Erfindung. Mein Kunde kommt super klar damit. Danke.

bought for born blind son, he uses it every day he highly recommends it

Ik zou graag een compacte case voor Hable One Braille Keyboard willen hebben voor in mijn jaszak. Nu durf ik dat niet omdat de Braille-knoppen zo kwetsbaar zijn. Die kartonnen opbergdoos is te groot voor je jaszak…

What a great little device! I love it!

Handy when on the move, user friendly, my visualy impaired teenager uses it for texts, social media etc.

it's a bit weird to type on and takes some getting used to some of the android keystrokes did not work as expected like i couldn't figure out how to shit send with the keyboard. Other than that not a bad little gadget.

Hi Feek, Hable one was purchased as a gift for my blind son, who uses it both in his private life and at work. He is a professional transcriber and also tests and reviews news for the blind. He is very happy with Hable, the only thing missing is Czech so that he can use Hable to its full potential. His friends are also very interested, but for now the lack of Czech prevents them. Do you think something could be done about it? Thank you in advance for them.

Hable is the most portable, easy to use Braille keyboard. You turn it on and start typing -- no menus to navigate and no waiting for a bluetooth connection to decide it is ready to work. No matter where you are, you can type in midair, no table no desk necessary, which Is why I had to purchase a second Hable One, as I lost my first one at paddling practice. It fits right in my pocket, which I apparently did not zip. Love my Hable!

Ce petit boitier destiné à faciliter la manipulation d'un Smartphone à écran tactile pour un déficient visuel , bien que d'un prix élevé, peut se révéler utiles à certains qui ont des difficultés avec ces écrans.Il va permettre d'effectuer pas mal d'opérations (mais pas toutes) à l'aide de quelques boutons mécaniques similaires aux touches des machine à écrire Braille type Perkins, ceci par liaison Bluetooth sans avoir à sortir l'appareil de sa poche ou son cas, ce qui dans des lieux public peut se révéler prudent.Notez cependant que, d'une part , il va nécessiter de retenir beaucoup de raccourcis claviers, par vraiment évidents, qu'il nécessite l'usage de ses deux mains en coordination parfaite, et une très bonne connaissance du braille.Il se couple facilement au Smartphone ou à l'IPhone , mais il semble que la version du logiciel pour IPhone soit un peu mieux développée que pour les appareil Androïde. par ailleurs, j'ai lu sur plusieurs forums qu'il n'a plus de mises à jour depuis plusieurs années malgré des bugs largement signales au fabriquant.donc, a tester avant tout.

Verry handy for everyone who wants to develop new skills or visually impaired.
I offered 4 stars cose it works better with ios than android , allso romanian special characters do not all function properly.

The Hable 1 is an incredible little smart phone keyboard. It allows you to do everything you want want on your smart phone without the frustration of trying to manoeuvre between screens and do different taps and swipes, and is ideal for anyone who finds navigating their smart phone difficult. Texting and messaging our so simple and an absolute pleasure. Now, instead of letting the whole world here when I am dictating a message or an email, or trying to type on the horrible little on screen keyboard, I can privately, accurately and independently write my messages with the same privacy that is taken for granted by Sighted users of a smart phone or tablet, but lost to me as a completely blind person because everything is on VoiceOver. The Hable 1 is the size of an iPhone eight or slightly smaller, with chunky comfortable buttons. It is held in the air in the position you would hold a sandwich before you give it a bite, LOL. The research that has gone into producing this controller is incredible because within moments of holding the Hable 1 in this position, it becomes totally intuitive and comfortable, your fingers automatically resting on the right keys. Within a few minutes of picking it up for the first time, you will be able to navigate around your phone and type. It is so so simple and great fun!

The Hable 1 is a new best friend that I could not do without and now that I am so freely using it, I don’t know how I managed without it! For me, as a completely blind person, it unlocks my smart phone to me and I am able to use functions that I had never been able to master when using VoiceOver or tapping. And it’s such good fun, don’t underestimate the fun side of it, it is so satisfying! Always at my fingertips! Thank you, Hable 1 for producing an item that meets so many of my needs. The follow-up support and customer care is 2nd to none with no query being too small and responses and solutions given freely. Very happy customer.🥰

Ce produit se connecte rapidement à un téléphone, ou tabletteCependant, je n'apprécis pas du tout la disposition des touche pour la frappe.ce n'est pas une disposition naturelle des doigts sur un clavier Perkings alors que la largeur du boîtier pouvait le permettre.il serait souhaitable de penser la prochaine fois à une disposition ergonomique.j'ai voulu faire des cadeaux, mais j'y ai renoncé finalement car le positionnement des doigts n'est pas pratique pour moi qui ai utilisé plusieurs claviers braille.en tout cas, c'est bien essayé.

To be honest, I expected more.
Tis controller generates an unpleasant noise.
Besides, it slows down the interaction with the phone.
Supported languages are limited.

Hable one est vraiment le clavier qu'il me fallait. Ergonomique, facile à utiliser, facile à transporter, ce produit facilite grandement l'utilisation d'un iphone non seulement par l'écriture en braille mais aussi grâce à ces fonctions multiples. Clavier hyper complet. C'est même plus qu'un clavier: une vraie télécommande braille qui vous permet de pratiquement tout faire sur votre téléphone. En plus, support super réactif et vous répondant et vous envoyant les documents dans votre langue. Bravo Hable one.
