Comment Braille Printers (Score 1) 356
I work part time actually for disability resources at my college, and part of my job is looking at OCR output scans and correcting them for mistakes which are later printed with braille embossers or read with text to speech tools for our blind students.
I have to say, after a few days on the job I realized how insufficient resources are for the students, often our assignments aren't given to us until a day or two after the blind student is supposed to get the material, so by the time they get them back from us they're often already a few days behind in class.
While there isn't really a good way of fixing this, i'm sure that there are many who would really appreciate more tools. Any little process that can be made a bit faster for them would help make up for the delays that are unavoidable.
Then diagrams and pictures we end up simply describing or captioning for the student. While picture to braille conversions exist, they generally don't do a good job as there are only so many discernable "textures" and braille heights that can be physically felt.
