une petite idée géniale, j'aime qd la création sert à çà….

How about modifying it to work like OCR on normal text? Problem is though that you would have to roll it perfectly on a line of text. However, same problem for braille. Without touching the braille with your fingers you will not know where the next line begins and how the line moves.

Wow. This may be the most perfect concept I've ever seen on this site.

boring.. show me the new concept design!!

Really nice concept for helping blind people read books..!

Cool, It’s such a delicate design concept. 5 Star!

Visual is so neat.Where can i buy that?

There's a little room for consideration BUT still a good idea. congrats Lee!

I think the designer might have never seen a blind person reading the Braille or talk to a person who needs to read this type of book. This device will work great for a normal person who wants to read the braille, but creates complication for the blinds to read the braille.

It's really scary how little efforty designers put into investigation of their concept's feasibility, practical use and need. So many flaws could be identified beforehand if they sat down and talked to different people (especially the target group) and get some feedback and perspective instead of going into rendering after the idea popped into their mind.

Can't wait to see how these changes shake out. That's the fun part about technology – it's ever-evolving. No rest for the weary!

This is definitely something that was done without any research about the users that would be actually using the product. If you have just seen a single blind person read his book with his finger you'll be amazed how fast he does it. This just brings more problem to the user. First It's much more slower than their finger tips. Second, less accurate and hard to handle than their fingers. Also since you're converting braille into voice this would bring a lot of problems.

Reading (both for not-blind, and blind people) is a much faster thing than listening. You can just quickly go through key words and just understand the whole sentence. But once this converts to voice, thats something you can't get. Even if you roll the device faster, you'll get just a fast sqeeky voice that you'll never understand.

it might be a good idea but please no more braille concepts its everywere

brilliant! not only refine concept for blind person but also design well sorta futuristic style

Why would a blind person use this? they read faster with their fingers. If a blind person needs such a device they better use audio books. And a seeing person wouldn't read a braille book with such a device since a regular book is much more compact

I see limited use for this product. I am not sure why someone would use the Snail. If you can see, there is print. If you are blind, why convert text to braille and then use the Snail to read it. Converting a text to braille often renders a large amount of paper to carry around. If one has text, it seems that the preferred alternative format would be an electronic format, which could then be read by a number of devices. However, a new teacher, parent of a blind child, or beginner learner might be able to use it to check the work one has done.

It seems that most Braille readers would prefer to use their sense of touch for the reading. But a sighted parent could read to a blind child, or someone with neuropathy and losing their sense of touch might like it.

If you're gonna invent and discuss stuff for the blind, your website should be accessible to screenreaders that the blind use.
