The user interface with visual impairment is performed by Easy Braille software, which is a free national development. The system validation was performed at an association focus on blind people - ACIC, showing an encouraging result and noting is the improvements needed in order to contribute to the achievement of a national prototype that could in future be used in schools and special education institutions.
