BENEFITS & FEATURES:
Flexibility:
Blind computer users often encounter barriers when operating computer software programs. COBRA accesses those software programs and optimizes the information on a Braille display (Braille display not included). COBRA provides an overview of the important information displayed on the computer screen.

The system is expandable and supports scripts enabling many possible modifications, including (or excluding) those on the programs level. Based on Microsoft Visual Basic, multi-scripts can be used as modules. Scripts as solutions to less accessible software are held as a library and can be called upon to easily solve almost all problems. COBRA runs on Unicode - texts in Arabic, Hebrew, and Cyrillic/Russian are possible.

User's Profiles:
COBRA saves all personal configurations in user's profiles. Each user has their own configuration file; this enables different users with different requirements to access one computer system by using their own individual settings. User's profiles remain unchanged even after using COBRA's Live Updater.

Expand COBRA through Multi-scripting (based on Microsoft Visual Basic) in combination with Windows user-specific settings, and tailor a system that meets your unique needs.

Braille Presentation (COBRA Braille & COBRA Pro versions ONLY):
As an aid to training, the output of the Braille display is shown on the monitor in text form. COBRA uses a powerful Braille engine to optimize the Braille output. COBRA can switch between Braille Grade I and Grade II by the press of a button. Inputting Braille via the PC keyboard is also possible.

COBRA also offers two more features (COBRA Braille & COBRA Pro versions ONLY):
- Splitting the Braille display - various types of information can be presented on one Braille display by dividing it into user defined sections
- Supporting multiple Braille displays - different models of Braille displays can show the same information simultaneously

More than 130 different models and brands of Braille displays (including all BAUM Braille displays) are supported by means of COBRA's Braille Manager. Terminal Server and Remote Desktop environments are connected seamlessly. Locally installed Braille displays take over COBRA's Braille output from a Terminal Server including scripts that are installed on a remote system. The screen magnification feature will also follow the screen output of a Terminal Server.

The TASO Principle:
The highly acclaimed TASO sliders (available separately) allow COBRA users a quick overview of the contents of a computer screen. TASO represents two dimensions of a computer screen using optional vertical and horizontal sliders combined with acoustic signals.

Screen Magnification (COBRA Zoom and COBRA Pro versions ONLY):
COBRA Zoom is a powerful screen magnifier. It is controlled quickly and easily from the PC keyboard, the optional TASO sliders or by using the VarioPro Magnification Module. The magnification ranges from 1x to 32x with full control of the presentation, ex. colors, contrast and positive or negative images. There are a wide variety of magnification features: full screen magnification, split screen views, magnifying glass with enhanced edge smoothing, etc. COBRA Zoom also supports Terminal Server workplaces.

COBRA Explorer:
COBRA unifies operation of and access to the Internet. COBRA Explorer is seamlessly integrated into COBRA and is an easy way to handle all kinds of HTML Text, E-Books and PDF files. Windows Internet Explorer, Mozilla FireFox for HTML, Adobe Reader for PDF and Adobe Digital Edition for E-Books can be used without the need for any extra plug-ins.

The first in the world: On-screen OCR - Text Recognition:
COBRA has integrated Optical Character Recognition (OCR) into its software. COBRA recognizes text in graphics and images, analyzes them, and extracts readable text made available on the Braille display and via speech output. Previously inaccessible parts of software programs and web sites can now be read for the first time.

Acoustic hour glass and acoustic progress indicator:
Software programs with high processor usage make high demands on many of the system's resources. Consequently, the processing speed of other software programs can slow down. When this happens, blind computer users cannot easily determine what the system is doing. The acoustic hour glass solves this problem - it audibly reports the status of the system using acoustic signals. Also now, progress indicators can be heard through an increasing tone sounding at every 5-percent step.

AutoText:
This is for those users who apply certain text elements repeatedly - ex. signatures, standardized texts, or phrases. You can create your own AutoTexts, save them as predefined AutoText, and apply them anytime anywhere. This useful function allows the user to work much more quickly.
