Subject: [Blind-Computing] talking key board developed in India


|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.
