2. Google to allow Braille Displays for people with disabilities

American multinational tech company, Google, has announced beta testing of a new feature for Android 13 that will make reading and visuals easier for braille users.

Google made the announcement in a blog post on the official website seen by Ripples Nigeria on Friday.

Braille display dates back to 1829, and its inventor in the person of Louis Braille.

According to Google in the statement, the devices will help people with deaf blindness access mobile phones while people with blindness use their phones silently.

The statement reads in part:

“These devices help people with deaf blindness access mobile phones and people with blindness use their phones silently.

“Previously, people connected their Android devices to braille displays using the BrailleBack app, which required a separate download from the Play Store, or used a virtual keyboard within Talkback instead of a physical device.

“With this new update, there are no additional downloads necessary to use most braille displays. People can use braille displays to access many of the same features available with Talkback.”
