About this resource

Tactonom Reader Flex

The Tactonom Reader Flex is a portable, foldable device developed by Inventivio GmbH designed to give blind and visually impaired learners independent access to graphic content. By transforming digital images, diagrams, and text into audio-tactile experiences, it removes the need for sighted assistance during study.

Key Features

  • Access to thousands of free audio-tactile learning materials
  • Compatible with the ProBlind database, which offers a large library of shareable graphics
  • Supports the Magic Math Tools add-on: tactile Braille numbers and mathematical instruments (rulers, protractors, compasses) that interact intelligently with the device
  • Foldable and portable form factor for use in school, university, or at home

Magic Math Tools

In combination with the Tactonom Reader Flex, the Magic Math Tools make arithmetic and geometry accessible. Tactile measuring instruments are recognised by the device and provide audio feedback, making mathematics lessons effective for blind and visually impaired students.

ProBlind Database

Users can register for free in the ProBlind database to browse and download a growing library of audio-tactile graphics specifically developed with educators for blind students, including 1,250 free math graphics.
