Can Braille be used with computers?
A wide range of devices allow Braille users to access information on a computer screen. Refreshable Braille displays, for example, consist of small pins, which move up and down to form Braille letters in accordance with single-column text on a screen. While these devices can read text, they cannot interpret graphics (or text that has been produced as a graphic). Increasingly popular are devices that combine Braille display with synthesized speech output giving blind users faster and more accurate interpretation of the computer screen.
