How much does a braille terminal cost?

The price of refreshable braille displays varies from 1000$ to up to 10,000$. The more cells the Braille Display has, the more expensive it is going to be, that is why it is important to reflect on the probable uses one will make of this device before buying it to decide on the adequate number of cells. Also, the price of a braille terminal depends on the technology used and the company that produced the device. In fact, many tech companies produce braille displays like Humanware, Papenmeier, Optelec and AssisTech. However, Perkins Solutions announced in 2016 a groundbreaking device has the potential to be manufactured by Orbit Research for around $320, making it a significantly less expensive alternative to refreshable braille devices that are currently on the market.
