Dear all,
Greetings from Saksham! Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi in collaboration with Saksham Trust is aiming to develop a device named Tacread to provide people with visual impairment with the best affordable and quality braille refreshable cell. TacRead is an affordable electronic system for refreshable display of braille characters. It is a collection of cells which can be connected to a computer, mobile phone or any other electronic device, and can give a line-by-line real-time braille output of up to 40 characters. This is done through the dynamic movement of individual pins that represent each character in braille, much like braille on paper. As it provides a non-audio, touch-only output, it can be used in day to day life in a seamless way thereby providing a less intrusive experience. A 40-cell display is available at around Rs 1,60,000 in the developed countries like USA and UK. In line with our commitment to its continuous research and development, we are looking to examine the current broad range of critical issues in reading Braille, surfing internet, etc. The best way to do this is by asking you to participate in this Survey and to provide us with your opinion on how to proceed with the development of this device. The survey is supposed to be completed on-line, and would not take more than 15-20 minutes to complete. We encourage you to complete the survey in a quiet time when you are able to concentrate without interruption. The survey is set out in a number of questions and every question should be responded before moving to the next. Please remember, there are NO right or wrong answers. It is your honest feedback we are seeking. We ensure to keep your responses confidential. By participating in this survey you will be making an important contribution helping us to develop assistive technologies to serve you better. Your opinion counts.
