The limited availability of texts transcribed to Braille and the required embossing equipment is a challenge world wide, but especially in poorer countries. To alleviate this problem, a team makers …read more Continue reading Hackaday Prize 2023: Low Cost Braille Embosser From 3D Printer Parts
It can be difficult for blind people to learn to read braille, as they don’t have any way of seeing which character the dots that they’re feeling represent. That’s where the BrailleWear glove comes in, as it verbally tells them.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading BrailleWear glove tells blind users which letters they’re feeling
We weren’t surprised to learn that Braille tools are quite expensive. But it’s interesting to hear that there’s another class of tools altogether, and they are very cheap and imprecise. In devising the Braille Embossing Experience, aka BEE, [alatorre] sought to find an open-source middle ground. We think they succeeded …read more

For people who rely on Braille, reading displays and signs in public can be a challenge, but a new system could help make things easier. HaptiRead is a haptic feedback device that uses ultrasound pulses in precise patterns to reproduce Braille text in … Continue reading Ultrasound haptic system projects readable Braille into thin air

Blind readers will likely be familiar with refreshable braille displays, in which raised dots electronically rise and fall from a flat surface in order to temporarily form braille characters. A new material, however, could make such displays cheaper an… Continue reading “Polyionic” material may make for better braille displays
If you have a serious visual impairment, using a computer isn’t easy. [Dhiraj] has a project that allows people fluent in Braille to use that language for input. In addition to having a set position for fingers, the device also reads the key pressed as you type. With some third …read more
Our recent coverage of a Raspberry Pi Zero inside the official Pi keyboard prompted a reader to point us to another far more unusual keyboard with a Pi Zero inside it. It may be a couple of years old, but [Mario Lang]’s Braille keyboard and display with built-in Pi is …read more
