Barriers

Finding Our Barrier

First we thought about different things that all of us were compassionate about. We found that all of us had a shared love for technology. We also recognized how it would be hard for blind people to be able to type because they would have a hard time knowing what keys they are pressing. So we set out to find a solution. 

Text To Speech

Another massive barrier in text to speech extensions is that the bulk of them were really hard to incorporate or add as an extension onto your devise. The proccess on adding these added unnecesary steps that were tedious and confusing. 


Braille Keyboards

Our barrier is how we can help blind poeple learn to type, or have better access to typing. After some of our research, we came to the conclusion that it was very hard for some blind people to access a keyboard that was quick and easy to use. A lot of the designs did not work to well and most of the good braille keyboards were very expensive to buy. Through our research we found that sometimes they could cost almost up to $2000.
