Reading Glove: Empowering the Blind Through Touch
Plectrum presents the Reading Glove - a revolutionary technology that converts regular text into Braille symbols, enabling blind individuals to read independently and access information like never before.
The Challenge Facing the Blind Community
1
Literacy Barriers
Reading and writing are becoming increasingly inaccessible for the blind, hindering their development and potential.
2
Limited Resources
Braille printing is expensive, and there's a severe shortage of qualified Braille teachers and instructors.
3
Beyond Audio
While audio conversion exists, it's not a substitute for reading skills, especially for those who lose sight later in life.
Understanding Braille
Matrix System
Braille uses a 2×3 dot matrix to represent characters, numbers, and symbols.
Tactile Reading
The visually impaired read by running their fingers over raised dot patterns.
Critical Skill
