With all the groundbreaking research and development on artificial retinas,
brain implants, stem cell patches, and even the possibility of whole eye
transplants, it's important for us to remember that vision involves a lot
more than sending and receiving pixels.

When I learned of HumanWare's Brailliant BI-14, I wondered if it might be
the perfect next level in braille displays that I and many AccessWorld
readers have been hoping to see. This article takes a look at how close
HumanWare has come to meeting that expectation.

Not all that long ago, separate apps were needed for text recognition,
currency identification, bar code reading, and color identification. Both
Seeing AI and Envision AI offer a multi-purpose app that claims to perform
many of these functions, and more.

When I began reading The Secret Sauce of Savvy Search, I hoped to be able to
learn more about how to use Google in a more powerful way. Mosen's course
met my expectations, and I am certain that I will refer back to the
reference many times in the future.

Here at AccessWorld, we receive a steady stream of reader feedback asking us
to describe and review more mainstream home gadgets and appliances that are
already or that can be made accessible to the blind. Here, we take a look at
the Roomba 671, which is accessible using an app or Amazon Echo.
