Name for reading system alternative to braille (self.Blind)
submitted 5.340020158179012y ago by G0lden_Ratio
Hey guys! I'm creating an alternative reading system to braille for my thesis, that can be read from blind and sighted people at the same time. I'm using conductive ink, embossed paper and raspberry pi. If you touch on specific spot on the paper you will hear a linked information via the raspberry pi. I'm thinking to name it "tactequal reading system" (tactile and equal) or "reading for blighted" (blind + sighted). which one do you prefer? If you have something to suggest, even better! Thank you!

Blighted is awful. Blight is a word that means "spoil, harm, or destroy." as in "the scandal blighted the careers of several leading politicians".

There's already a system out there called Moon. I believe it's similar to print in some ways, so that blind and sighted people alike can read it.

What does your data show about tactile discrimination for blind readers? ie. is it any more or less readable or effective at transmitting print data to tactile readers?
