Blind people can't see but they still don't mind if you say "see you later" or "see you soon". Words don't offend as much as some folks worry.

HumanwareWe're thrilled to announce that version 2.4 will be released tomorrow, Wednesday, December 11th, at 12 PM EST. This update applies to the following devices: Mantis Q40 Brailliant BI 40X Brailliant BI 20X BrailleOne Chameleon 20 Key Features of This Update 1. Text-To-Speech (TTS) and Audio Capabilities for Mantis Q40 The highly anticipated Text-To-Speech and audio features are now available for the Mantis Q40! As the device lacks onboard speakers, we’ve enabled audio through Bluetooth pairing with headphones or external speakers. This feature is also accessible on other devices, offering flexibility for TTS and audio playback. 2. New Modules We’ve added three powerful new modules to enhance your experience: Wikipedia: Requires an active internet connection. Wiktionary: Requires an active internet connection. WordNet: An offline dictionary. For Wikipedia and Wiktionary, pages load based on your selected braille table. For instance, if you're using Spanish braille, the corresponding Spanish Wikipedia or Wiktionary page will appear. WordNet, however, works only with English braille tables. These modules provide great utility, such as enabling word lookups directly within the Victor Reader app. 3. EPUB 2 Support We've introduced support for unprotected EPUB 2 files. Please note that protected files or EPUB 3 formats are not supported. If a file fails to open, it’s likely due to these restrictions. Special Thanks This update wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of Dominic, Etienne, and Francois. Resources Watch: A short video introducing version 2.4.share.synthesia.io/341790e1-…
