We have become aware of a specific problem with registrations for this event affecting a small minority of users, particularly those using the Internet explorer web browser and JAWS screenreader. We have spoken to Eventbrite about this issue, but as Internet Explorer is no longer supported by Microsoft they are unlikely to be able to offer a solution in time for the event. As a result, we would recommend that users of Internet explorer either download and install a more up to date web browser, such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, or, alternatively, call Bristol Braille Technology on 0117 325 30 22 to register for this event by telephone. Bristol Braille Technology apologises for the inconvenience this will cause.
The Canute 360 from Bristol Braille Technology is the world’s first multi-line refreshable braille e-reader, featuring a three hundred and sixty cell, nine-line display. As we enter our final testing period before launch in mid 2018, Bristol Braille Technology would like to invite musicians who use braille music, and their supporters, to join us at RNIB, London for an introduction to, and demonstration of, the Canute braille e-reader, along with performances and an opportunity to use the Canute to read braille music.
Delegates are encouraged to bring a portable instrument along with braille music you wish to test on a USB memory stick in *.BRF or *.PEF format.
 
The introduction to the Canute and its display for braille music will be given at approximately 12:00, 13:30, 15:00 and 16:30 when delegates are requested to be seated and settled. There will also be short musical performances with an opportunity for questions. Otherwise the day will be in exhibition format with delegates circulating, testing the Canute, asking questions and networking. 
Please note that all attendees are required to be registered in and out of the exhibition. This event is run in conjunction with RNIB’s Music Advisory Service.
