[Electronics-talk] Top-Braille?

[Linda]

Hi,

I had never heard of this device.  I would not pay $1,950 for it.  As near as I can tell from the YouTube videos, which are in French I think, it looks like there is one or two braille cells on top of the device.  If so, that would explain why the demos never got to the end of the page.

I say do not waste your money on this product.

> As the user moves Top-Braille along a printed text, the printed material is translated into Braille. The translation of each printed character is controlled by the speed with which the user moves Top-Braille. Navigation software indicates the direction to the user and allowing the user to follow the text line by line. Top-Braille is ergonomically designed to provide comfort and ease of use.
