The perfect complement to the Activator: HelpTech+. HelpTech+ adds many new features to the Activator, Help Tech's latest braille display innovation, making it a next-generation Braille experience once and for all. Braille monitor The integrated Braille monitor allows a sighted person to follow the information output on the Braille display directly on the iPhone screen. Including the indication of the reading position, marked text and the cursor position. Dictation function With the speech input you can easily dictate texts instead of typing them yourself. The recognized text is then either saved in a new file on the Activator or inserted into an existing file at the desired position. Voice output The speech output function allows you to have texts on the Activator read aloud through the iPhone's speakers. File manager With "HelpTech+" you can copy files back and forth between the Activator and your iPhone. Send texts Send texts from the iPhone clipboard directly to the Activator. The connection with the iPhone expands the internal functions of the Activator by SmartServices. The first feature is a news feed service, optimized for the use with Braille displays, which you can put together according to your personal interests. Furthermore we are continuously developing "HelpTech+". Additional new functions will be provided regularly. As a result, we will continue to offer you a first-class experience in the future.

Veronica Remote brings your desktop Veronica to your phone. Veronica is Dot's tactile AI agent that runs on your computer. Veronica Remote signs in to the same account and mirrors the conversation on your desktop, so you can keep following it and keep talking to it after you step away. FOLLOW THE CONVERSATION LIVE • Messages exchanged on the desktop appear on the phone as they happen. • Open conversations from the last 7 days in the drawer to read them again. TALK TO YOUR DESKTOP FROM ANYWHERE • Type a message on the phone and Veronica on your computer carries it out. • Each message shows whether the desktop has picked it up, and you can send it again if it didn't. • Get a notification when Veronica replies while you are not looking at the app. • Using more than one computer? Give each one a name you recognize. LIBRARY AND DOTPAD PRINTING • Browse the files your desktop Veronica made or uploaded — documents, images and tactile graphics. • Download, open or share them with other apps. • Connect a DotPad over Bluetooth and print tactile graphics straight from the library. BUILT FOR SCREEN READERS Veronica is made first for people who are blind or have low vision. Every status is spoken as a full sentence by VoiceOver and is never shown by color or an icon alone. • Available in Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Hindi. • Sign in with Google or Apple. REQUIREMENTS • Veronica on a Mac or Windows PC, signed in to the same account, with Veronica Remote turned on in Settings. • A Veronica Pro or Max plan. • The computer must be on and online to receive messages from the phone. • Printing tactile graphics requires a DotPad.
