There are many books in the world,but blind people can read little. B-READER is a translation machine that converts book text into Braille. When you put it on an A4-sized or larger book, it can automatically recognize the text through scanning technology and convert it into text. Using advanced display technology, it is displayed on the electronic screen. Blindness can read them like normal people reading ordinary books. It is also an electronic Braille reader which can download e-books to read.
iF Gold Statement
This is a great example of a design solution that takes a bold new approach to a long-standing challenge. Rather than producing more books in Braille for blind people, this ingenious device uses scanning technology to make normal printed books accessible to the blind. This approach is more cost-effective, sustainable and practical and has potential for immense positive social impact.
