Surely an audiobook is a cheaper and better alternative to this? They have overcomplicated something which can be done with an mp3 player and headphones.

This is an interesting concept…but begs the question why not just use audio books, then?

Kind of the over thought solution to a pretty simple problem that already has a more elegant solution.

I really like the look of the design though. Really slick.

A fantastic concept!
This is a surefire way to get someone back on thier feet after loosing thier sight midway through life. I think its a brilliant idea. I have to admit that the rare nature of completely brail doccuments does create questions however I feel that a device like this is a lifeline to allow people who have lost thier sight to continue learning and reading.

De mucha utilidad, mas aun para esas personas adultas que han perdido la visión por causa de la diabetes y su sensibilidad en los dedos no les permite el leer por medio del sistema braille….
se debe dejar el pesimismo, se acabo la bateria,se compra otra…
Pero lo mas importante… su costo. Cuanto seria?

That seems crazy.

If you’re going to resort to that, why not just skip the braille completely and get your books and documents in audible form? If you can’t get them in directly in audible form, get them as digital text and then use software to spit out a badly voice-synthesized interpretation.
