technology for the blind

Technology for the blind includes devices and software that help navigate, read, and access information. Examples include screen readers that convert text into speech, refreshable braille displays that let users read digital text tactilely, and smartphone apps that identify objects or read printed material aloud. These tools enhance independence and communication by bridging the gap between digital content and sensory perception, allowing users to interact more effectively with their environment and daily tasks. Advances continue to improve accessibility, promoting greater inclusion and usability for individuals with visual impairments.
