Over the past summer at Stanford University they discovered a new and easy way for Braile users to operate on computers. They have created a touch-screen Braile writer software that has everything to do with your fingertips. Basically there are eight keys, which are simialr to the Braile keyboard, and all a person has to do is set their fingers anywhere on the screen and they eight keys will adjust to where the person's fingers are set. If the user needs to readjust their hands, or step away from the computer, all they have to do is reset their fingers on the screen and once again the keys will adjust to their fingertips. The software isin't fully developed yet, there is still no vibration yet or voice support, but the idea of this new advancement for Braile users could be very helpful and easier for them to operate on computers!
