Dynamic Braille display
Screen-readers of any kind can never replace the pleasure of reading on-screen data. Now visually impaired and blind people can have a Braille display keyboard, which instantly translates information that appears on screen into Braille. MNC WWW Consortium (W3C) explains that the dynamic Braille display raises or lowers dot patterns on command from an electronic device. “The result is a line of Braille that can change from moment to moment,” claims their Web site. Mumbai-based Karishma Enterprises proposes a PACmate portable display that you can plug into the USB port of any computer for Rs 68,000 (20 cells) or Rs 1 lakh 48,000 (40 cells).
You can also connect some portable Braille displays to your mobile phone via Bluetooth so that the information screened on your mobile can be translated into Braille.

Screen-reader in Hindi
Jaws is probably the most popular screen-reader software among the visually impaired and blind community. It enables those who can’t read properly or at all to access any content or information on the screen by translating it into the spoken word. This software works in English, not in Hindi.
To overcome this, Barrier Break Technology, a Mumbai-based company, will launch a Hindi screen-reader in collaboration with Dolphin Computer Access Ltd. Available in India in two weeks, it will ensure compatibility with Windows XP Hindi version. According to Shilpi Kedia, Barrier Break MD, it will cost Rs 12,000-Rs 20,000. In the latter, you will get the screen reader and magnifier. After having tested the Hindi market, Barrier Break will probably launch screen-readers in other Indian languages.
