|A group of third year engineering students studying at Cummins College | of Engineering for Women at the city of Pune, India has developed a | Braille keyboard with a speech | feedback that will make typing easy for the visually impaired. the | device will help visually impaired students to write their examination | papers on their own, without the assistance of another person. | "This keyboard has six keys out of which there are three special keys. | Any blind person can easily use these six keys. There are three | special keys | called done, space and delete. Once a blind person finishes typing an | alphabet, he can press done and if he feels he has to delete what he | has typed, | he can press delete. The keyboard has been designed exactly like the | Braille language matrix with three additional | keys. The device consists of a Braille keyboard connected to a micro | controller and a text to speech (TTS) converter, which gives output as | sound that | can be heard by using headphone or speakers. and they also plan to develop its | various language versions. "This is like a Braille slate. It is | similar to that. We can use it without any problem. | | Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: | http://www.jaws-users.com | Visit the Blind Computing home page at: | http://www.blind-computing.com | Address for the list archives: | http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ | To post to this group, send email to | [email protected] | To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject | or body of a blank message to: | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Use the following form in order to contact the management team | http://www.jaws-users.com/BlindComputing.php | If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the | following address: | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/BlindComputing.php If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
