Products and Initiatives
Braille-8 is a comprehensive unified braille Unicode system providing a detailed mapping of 8-dot braille pattern to represent the transcribing codes (in English or any other language) as well as the math, science, and computer symbols/characters — mostly with one braille cell itself.
Persons with visual disabilities use touch sensation to visualize a drawing – hence, what they need is a Geometry Kit using which they can construct embossed geometrical patterns. GEOMKIT® (Patented) is designed with aim to fulfil that need.
Braille LINEVIEW™ Slate (Patented) is a Direct Braille Slate with slate-like experience, that allows locating, reading, and writing of the Braille cells anywhere on the braille page easily without removing and flipping the page, thus making it suitable for back-referring and back-editing – a mandatory requirement for Maths.
