<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">the European Blind Union (EBU) invites you to take part in a survey to enhance the use of braille displays.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">As the access to digital braille works via braille display this survey can be helpful also for the e-braille project.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Braille displays become more and more important to read and edit text in an electronic way. But the performance of electronic braille should get better.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">So EBU wants to talk to braille display and screen readers producers to improve the access to electronic braille.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">For this we ask you about your experiences, needs and suggestions in the use of braille displays with computer, smartphone and braille display as a stand—alone device.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Answering the following questions takes you maximum 10 minutes.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Please answer our questionnaire until 29th February 2024.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
