On this episode of Shaun of the Shed, Shaun Preece goes hands-on with the Hable One. The Hable One is a Bluetooth controller and smartphone keyboard designed for people who are blind or partially sighted. It has eight buttons, including six Braille keys, and is roughly five inches by two and a half inches in size. The device can be used to enter text, navigate, and interact with both iPhone and Android smartphones. It is held between two hands, with thumbs resting on the top next to the power button and fingers resting on the Braille keys. The Hable One offers a wide range of commands for various functions, such as moving around the screen, accessing folders and apps, muting the screen reader, and more. It is compatible with both iPhone and Android devices and can be connected via Bluetooth. The device is considered portable and useful for tasks like checking emails or social media while on the go. However, it comes at a higher price compared to standard Bluetooth keyboards.For more information on Hable: https://www.iamhable.com/about
