“The conference was a validation of the work we’re doing. ICEB─the keepers of the braille code─is a huge supporter of eBraille. They see it as the future." Earlier this year, we traveled to Auckland, New Zealand to share the Monarch, our new multiline braille display, and eBraille, a new file standard that allows braille and tactile graphics to be read together in one document, with the International Council on English Braille (ICEB). Learn more about this important connection. https://bit.ly/3Y0tjab #Monarch #TakeFlightWithMonarch #eBraille
