Braille for The Web
By jason - up to 2007 (archived) • Apr 13th, 2007 • Category: News for Creatives (archives)BBC News Reports:
“A free service that provides automatic Braille conversion is proving popular despite still being in test phase.RoboBraille was started by a Danish organisation and now has partners in five other European countries.
Anyone wanting to use the service, which is partly funded by the EU, can send plain text, rich text, html or Word documents by e-mail. Within a few minutes they receive their document either as an MP3 audio file or as electronic Braille.
Electronic Braille can be read by a tactile display – a device connected to the computer with a series of pins that are raised or lowered to represent the Braille characters – or sent to a Braille printer.”
Another great reminder how brilliant people are.
