A team from Georgia Tech, led by Post Doctorate Fellow Mario Romero (School of Interactive Computing) has designed BrailleTouch for touchscreen mobile devices. The prototype app allows visually impaired people to easily type and opens the door for everyone to text or type without looking at the screen.

I have the chance not to be handicapped but I'm baffled by the huge prices of tools designed for this lucrative market. I salute the Open Science/Open Source nature of your research and practical solutions. Thank you!
