    Braille has been helping the Blind and visually impaired to read and write for centuries. But Braille is a very restricted medium, which is very expensive to print, bulky and time-consuming to format. The blind student who only reads and writes in Braille is unable to comprehend the daily teaching in the class.
    For writing exams, the blind student has to depend upon ‘Scribes’. This inability to write on his own has a serious consequence when the student completes his academic study and is trying to gain employment.

    This Project will deliver results in visually impaired students being ‘Fully Integrated’ into the mainstream society and hence become ‘Educated Employable Citizens’; instead of the current situation where the visually impaired are ‘Educated but do not have any skills that can make them Employable.
