Dot Translate

285 million blind and visually impaired people worldwide have limited access to knowledge, as only three per cent of all text content is available in Braille and only ten per cent of the visually impaired can read Braille as the only alternative. This website introduces Dot Mini, a smart device that can access any digital text content from websites, books, magazines, audio and even films on its own and transfer them into tactile information. Equipped with the innovative, AI-based Dot Translation Engine, the device understands the respective contexts of words and translates them efficiently to Grade 2 Braille. Featuring a reduced, clean background in white and grey tones, the website presents all important details about the groundbreaking features of this device, which not only allows to load content from an SD card, directly connect with other devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB, or collaborate via HDMI, but – reaching beyond Braille – also provides additional audio support for even faster perception of desired content.
