[nabs-l] Braille e-Book CONCEPT

[Rob Lambert]

I couldn't remember if that link had any info on it, so here's something I did find that talks about how the device works. As far as my idea of the concept being developed or whatever I said in the beginning, my apologies, bad choice of words. I was just so shocked that such a device could exist that I didn't think before I typed. The link is below a blank line.

you want to produce a concept?

Concepts are developed, built, prototyped, manufactured and sold.

Either I missed something, or I really saw just a few paragraphs talking about
something i already have, a braille display that can read braille books.

Where is the science behind this "wonderful" idea?

> Note that this is only a CONCEPT! This article tells nothing about
availability, price, or even if it will exist on the production line. To sum it
up, it's like a Braille version of the Amazon Kindle. You don't even
need a Braille display to use it. Just like the Amazon Kindle uses a refreshable
paper technology for it's print to reduce the battery life and make reading
more natural for sighted people, so to does this use a technology to achieve a
similar effect in Braille. The link is below a blank line. I do this to separate
the text from the web page to avoid a possibility of run-on speech with some
synthesizers. Enjoy. A side note: If we want hard copy Braille in the twenty
first century, and don't want to bother with expensive embossers or Braille
displays for things like textbooks, I'd say this is the way to do it. I
think we should push for this to go into production.
