This is an interesting idea, but it seems very slow for reading a message and if there is any sighted people around, then they can still see what letter is what because there is the braille letter along with the print letter under it. Someone could just stand next to you and read letter by letter without you knowing. Also if you have no vision, trying to find the application would be hard unless it were located at the edge of the screen, not the middle where is might not be found.

Sure it's free, but you could just buy mobile speak and have it read the messages to you. You could even connect a braille display.

Mr. Roope Takala

How would a visually impaired person have phone sex? Wouldnt that be obnoxious to have your phone read messages in masculine voice if a beautiful lady is sending messages?

it looks horribly slow. um... how about the phone speaks the message? phones have an earpiece on them. that no one else can hear. it should just speak through that. nokia's stock is less then half what it was in 2008. maybe projects like this are why. but, i am sure the power-point presentation for this had all the bullet points in the right place.
