Categories and products
Categorie: Workplace equipment
We see ourselves as a solution provider, especially in the area of equipping workstations for blind and visually impaired employees. We accompany our customers all the way, from the analysis of the current workplace and the needs of the user, through the consultation and compilation of an individual range of aids to setting up the new workplace and training the user in handling the new technology.
We have a wide variety of services and products on offer for the individual project phases, and our medical device consultants are always the point of contact and problem solver for everyone involved in the project. Further information can be found on the following sub-pages.
Categorie: Braille displays
In 1975 we presented the first BRAILLEX device to the public. In the meantime we have released many different models and have continued to develop our braille displays. Quality and the production "Made in Germany" have always been important pillars for us.
We have different models that are adapted to different life situations. Let us advise you and get to know our various Braille displays.
ScreenReader & Magnifying Software
In order to be able to use a computer sensibly, the blind and visually impaired need special software programs to display screen contents according to their requirements. This can be done via a so-called screen reader, which reads the screen contents to the blind user, or with enlargement programs that display the screen contents as an individual enlargement or in false colors, depending on the needs of the visually impaired user.
In addition to the standard programs, our experts go one step further and, for example, adapt the JAWS ScreenReader individually to your needs and, above all, to your in-house IT structure. Let us advise you and find your optimal support software.
Papenmeier Services
For more than 40 years we have been dealing daily with the challenges that the job market and the constant changes in technology pose for the blind and the severely visually impaired. Due to the increasing mechanization of workplaces, it is almost impossible for the blind and visually impaired to cope with their everyday work without appropriate aids such as magnification software, Braille displays or screen readers.
Workplace analyzes
The first step, the workplace analysis, is about determining the requirements for the new place.
Programming
Not all software is barrier-free, so every workstation has to be adapted through programming.
Terminal server
Terminal servers / Cititx / virtualized environments are nowadays important cornerstones of modern IT, especially in larger companies, things with which we help.
Training
Above all, new workplace equipment is important to optimally prepare users for everyday work.

Workplaces for the blind
The right tools are the key to maximum independence for blind people.
Especially when it comes to inclusive participation in the labor market, the technical barriers for the blind are still very high. Our employees are specialized in adapting work places, not only technically but also in the work flow. Thus, the indivividual needs of the blind person at the work place will be met in the best possible way.
We accompany you on the way to your personal workplace, optimally integrated into the work processes of your company.
Whether you are an employer, a user, or a supporter, here's how to do it, and how we can help you move forward with our products and services.

JAWS & JAWS Moduls
The functionality of JAWS is already quite pronounced, but if the software is difficult to access, it is further improved by our ready-made JAWS modules.
INDEX Braille printer
Braille is an important element in integrating blind people into the world of work. Braille texts can be created on the computer and printed out via a connected Braille printer.

Visually impaired workplaces
Everyone is different - these words apply particularly to the visually impaired.
There are many types of visual impairment. Regardless of the diagnosis, almost everyone experiences their visual impairment differently. There are many different effects on orientation and mobility. The working methods of the visually impaired and the limits of their work opportunities and their capabilities cannot be compared with one another.
The right tool means new life prospects and success in everyday life, school, studies and work.
For this reason, visually impaired people should never do without particularly good advice regarding the individual adjustment of the required aids.
Magnification software
In order to be able to use a computer sensibly, many visually impaired people need special enlargement programs in order to display screen contents according to their requirements.
Document reading systems
Camera systems are always used when optical aids are no longer sufficient. The object to be viewed is projected onto a monitor via a camera, greatly enlarged.
Task lights
Eyesight and visual acuity are directly related to the light source used. In several studies with the visually impaired it was found that very good and correct lighting of the reading material leads to improved visual performance.
More auxiliary hardware
In addition to magnifying aids such as document reading cameras or optimal workplace lighting with floor lamps or table lamps, other aids are useful for easier data entry into the computer.

Papenmeier Braille displays
Computers have increased the possibilities of blind people significantly in recent years. With the help of special additional devices, such as braille displays or screen readers, the blind are now able to operate computers and use them for activities that they previously could not do independently or only with great effort. The ability to deal with information and communication technology has therefore become a key qualification.
We have been developing our own Braille displays at Papenmeier since 1975, which we successfully sell on the medical aid market under the BRAILLEX brand. Our current portfolio includes our own Braille displays as well as high-quality models from other manufacturers. Here is a brief overview. If you have any questions about these or other models, please do not hesitate to contact us.
BRAILLEX EL 80c
This Braille display has been specially developed for the area of use of a functionally optimized workstation with a focus on usability and work efficiency for the user.
BRAILLEX EL 40c
Every blind workplace has different requirements. We have created our Braille display BRAILLEX EL 40c for flexible and mobile use on the job.
BRAILLEX Live family
With our three BRAILLEX Live models, we have created a line that individually addresses the technical everyday life of a blind user and offers everyone the optimal aid in connection with the smartphone and / or the notebook.

JAWS & JAWS-Modules
JAWS has been the world's leading screen reader for Windows for many years. It makes screen information of a PC available to the user in the form of language and braille. Its convincing functionality is constantly being developed by the manufacturer Freedom Scientific in order to provide users with the best possible support in the rapidly advancing digitization of the working world.
JAWS-Modules
The functionality of JAWS is already quite pronounced, but there are software applications that are difficult or even impossible to use for screen reader users. The reason for this is that the programming of the applications did not pay attention to the accessibility.
Basically, we differentiate between two forms of poorly accessible applications.
1. Inaccessible applications:
Necessary information for using the application with JAWS cannot be read out directly for various reasons.
2. Accessible, but poorly usable applications:
All necessary information for using the application with JAWS is provided, but the information ingestion is inefficient because too many work steps are required or too much superfluous information is provided.
In both cases, adjustments must be made to enable JAWS to communicate with these applications. For certain and comparatively frequent, poorly accessible applications, Papenmeier already offers ready-made adaptations, the so-called Papenmeier JAWS modules. Papenmeier JAWS modules are modular software extensions for JAWS that are intended to improve the usability of certain application software for blind people.
In the first case, the JAWS module determines the required information from the application through appropriate programming. However, this solution is often unsustainable across software versions and requires version-related post-processing unless the manufacturer is willing to revise its application software in a barrier-free manner.
In the second case, the necessary information is automatically presented by the JAWS module in Braille and speech or can be called up with an action. This programming of the JAWS modules is very sustainable, as it can be used over several program versions without any further adjustments.
Individualisierung des JAWS-Moduls
With our JAWS modules, many applications, such as telephone switchboards, are already fully optimized. The extensions are only installed in the normal full version of JAWS. Additional changes are possible in order to map any individual properties that may exist specifically for the workplace.
Comprehensive customization for the workplace is also necessary if only certain parts of the work processes have already been adapted in very extensive and complex applications. The costs incurred for this also include the documentation for the blind user as well as the data backup of the source code and are therefore a sustainable investment in the stability and efficiency of the workplace.
The aim of a JAWS module is always an optimized workflow, which should be achieved through a high level of effectiveness, simple handling and a quick and precise reaction of the software. To do this, we focus on the following four points:
- Combining functions and program sequences within the application increases efficiency
- Interactions with other applications are provided with simple functions
- Automatic presentation of important information from the context of the application saves laborious and time-consuming navigation and searches
- The direct selection from other applications with just one push of a button, e.g. on the Braille display, is only possible with the JAWS module

It is our aim to configure every workstation for the blind in such a way that long-term and effective operability and optimal support for the user is guaranteed. Contact us for more information at:
