What is the Webbox?
The Webbox is a powerful, versatile multimedia player designed specifically for blind and visually challenged individuals. It acts as a bridge to the digital world, converting websites, newspapers, and libraries into high-quality audio.
Unlike standard tablets, it is built with tactile accessibility in mind, allowing users to navigate the world of digital media independently through a simple spoken interface.
Why choose the Webbox solution?
Choosing Webbox means choosing independence. Our partners and users prefer this solution because:
DAISY Library Integration: Seamlessly connects to online libraries, eliminating the need for physical CDs or complex file transfers.
Simplified Navigation: Features large, high-contrast buttons and a fully spoken menu system designed for those with zero vision.
Versatile Content Access: One device provides access to everything from daily newspapers and podcasts to theater performances and TV subtitles.
Always Connected: Works via Wi-Fi or Ethernet to ensure a stable streaming experience anywhere in the home.
How to access your online bookshelf?
The versatile player connects directly to the online library making the use of CDs unnecessary.
This gives you access to a wealth of books, newspapers and magazines anytime, anywhere. With one press of the on button you hear a spoken menu and with the other button you choose what you want
to listen to.
​
All you need is a DAISY library membership and an Internet connection. Using Wi-Fi or a wired Internet connection, you can listen to all your favorite (DAISY) books, magazines or newspapers anywhere in the house.
