Description
The Need
Visually impaired people lack equal Education and Employment opportunities, as they cannot access printed,
handwritten and digital content on their own. While they are heavily dependent on Braille and Audiobooks, less
than 1% content is available in Braille and it takes four to six weeks to audio-record a 300 page-book. Late Blind
individuals find it difficult to learn Braille. Regional language content is inaccessible as Assistive technology
products available in the market only support English and other Latin-based languages.
