Company Summary

99% of the 8.4m people in the US who have a visual impairment (VI) can't read braille, because they are previously sighted. We develop hardware, software and curriculum that enable people who have a VI to attain greater education, employment, literacy and independence, and thereby reach their full potential. The first products are a font that is an alternative to braille & the world's first tactile graphical printer (in partnership with HP).
