Photo of hands positioned on a touchscreen smaartphone. Can't BrailleTouch This…or Can You? A Review of the BrailleTouch Prototype
In February of this year, a team of researchers from Georgia Tech unveiled the BrailleTouch prototype, an eyes-free app that allows you to enter text in braille using a touchscreen smartphone. The widespread interest in this app created a media frenzy which led to some misinformation. This AccessWorld article brings the real story into focus.
