Lucas Granit Development Officer . CIE, guide dogs of the heart.


As a user of Braille products for the past 15 years, I admit to being pleasantly surprised by the insideONE. This tablet is as nice to touch as it is to look at, which makes it a great inclusive device.



As the Development Manager of the Centre Indépendant d'Éducation des chiens-guides du cœur, a school for guide dogs for the blind, I travel regularly to meet our various partners.


The compact, all-in-one insideONE allows me to be ready to work anywhere quickly. I can check and reply to my e-mails, browse the Internet, consult my social networks, read and write documents, connect to my company network to recover and save files, deliver PowerPoint presentations...


The Windows OS and the touch screen are real advantages for this device. Indeed, a single device allows me to be efficient and connected to my colleagues and sighted partners, who with a click can take control and collaborate with me.


Braille devices are often off-putting for a sighted person, who finds himself helpless in front of a braille display, even when connected to a standard computer. It is not always easy for my colleagues to know if what they mouse-over is correctly displayed to me. With the insideONE, Braille feedback is always displayed on the screen, so that everyone is looking and talking about the same subject.


I also provide training on how to welcome visually impaired people into Public-access-to-buildings or a visually impaired or blind colleague in a company. My first goal is to play down visual impairment, which still remains too often underestimated and frightening for some people.


The guide dog allows me to approach visual impairment under preferential conditions, but the problem of access to information is very common especially in business when setting up workstations. Although I am very efficient with my computer connected with my traditional Braille display, the insideONE, from which I provided my last training, immediately enabled my trainees to look to the future and find it much easier the potential hiring of a visual impaired person.
