Read Braille with the Snail

 

Have you ever tried to translate Braille on a page into readable words and phrases? I have and failed miserably at it, therefore I have a lot of respect for people who have had to learn in order just to read a book. Having run my finger along Braille before and not being able to make any sense of it whatsoever I find the gadget we bring to you today an important one for other people who may be experiencing difficulty learning it.

Read Braille with the Snail

Today we bring to you a concept by designer Wonkook Lee called the Snail. The Snail is a Braille Reader that is drawn across the page; from this text can be converted into words and played back to the user via a Bluetooth headset.  Specifically, the Snail is an electronic voice converter, with a pressure sensitive touch pad that can pick up the Braille’s uneven surface of the page.

This visually impaired product has distinct advantages over traditional Braille reading in that:

- Specific Braille points can be set. When reading in Braille if you forget a certain part of the story trying to find where that point is in the book is difficult; however with the Snail Braille device it is very easy.

- Its quicker, no need to think about what each Braille point is just roll the Snail across the page and let it determine what the sentence says.

-  No training or learning before use required, just follow the instructions and away you go.
