As far as I can tell, there is still no way to 'read back' the content using this system. Does it really provider much value if I cant check what I just typed?

- ewidar 7y agoI've never used braille but the situation I was envisioning was a blind person on the tube, receiving a message, they can listen to it with earphones plugged in, but may not want to speak the response out loud. In this case they would type the message using this keyboard, and could have it read back out loud to check it.
- ficklepickle 7y agoHow can they use it if they can't see it and there is no tactile feedback? Do they just have to memorize where to put their fingers?
- thanksforfish 7y agoThe 6 touch areas look like they are be pretty big, which aids touch typing. The phone could certainly vibrate on touch to give some tactile feedback.
- CydeWeys 7y agoIt could also read back to you each letter after it's inputted for confirmation. I know a blind guy at work and he is almost entirely using text-to-speech to drive his cell phone and computer. When you overhear it, it's just lots of menu options and webpage text being read off super quickly at 200+% speed.
- devindotcom 7y agoIt works under the TalkBack screen reader function, so it reads back constantly.
- z2 7y agoTTS aside, there's a Braille display integrator from Google called BrailleBack that could be used. Then again, many Braille devices have input support too. I'm sighted but I've considered getting one to play around with and learn to read in the dark when I want to rest my eyes but still want to read fast.
