A pen that can transform Braille into English text has been developed by experts at the University of Bristol.
Braille literacy is frequently reported as being in decline. This is despite visually impaired people often expressing a desire to learn it, and Braille literacy being a highly valued skill by those who are capable. This is often attributed to the lack of available learning resources, particularly away from large urban centers.
The handheld device, which includes a one-centimeter sensor with 19 channels programmed to read Braille, has demonstrated high accuracy in early trials.
