Automated Braille Writing Tutor
From: Medical Design Technology - 03/25/2015

An innovative device developed by Carnegie Mellon University’s
TechBridgeWorld research group to help visually impaired students learn how
to write Braille using a slate and stylus is the winner of the 2014 Louis
Braille Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation.

TechBridgeWorld has made a version of the device’s hardware specification and
software available for download to help anyone build their own tutor. Many
students, faculty and staff involved with TechBridgeWorld also developed a
battery-powered Stand-Alone Braille Writing Tutor with onboard computing for
use where reliable computers and external power are not routinely available.
