The Tactonom Reader enables blind and visually impaired people to work independently with graphic information; maps, mathematical illustrations, infographics, tables etc. It explains tactile elements with additional voice information, backgrounds and details. Information is read out with pinpoint accuracy by means of camera-based finger recognition.
This enables access to understand, learn and work with information without outside help, at different speeds and interactively.
The Tactonom™ Reader enables blind people to understand visual information in a simple and playful way. This is achieved by explaining tactile images with audio information.
The explanations refer to the element that the user feels with their fingertip. Information is read out with pinpoint accuracy by means of camera-based finger recognition. If there is information under the finger, it is read out. This opens up a wide range of possible uses:
The Tactonom™ Reader combines tactile content with precise explanations. For this purpose, tactile documents are placed on the tactile surface of the Tactonom™ Reader. Additional content is loaded via the QR code attached to the documents. The prerequisite for working with the Tactonom™ Reader is having documents to hand created for the Tactonom™ Reader.
These documents can be:
For the printout of these underlay types, the respective output technology is required.
Alternatively, tactile documents can also be obtained from service providers. A WiFi connection is required to automatically read in the graphics. The tactile documents are created using standard computers with an Internet connection.
The audio output of the Tactonom Reader allows blind users and users with severe visual impairment to understand what they feel under their fingertips. The finger no longer has to be moved away from the centre of interest in order to read explanations in Braille. Since the information is read to the user, it is not necessary to be Braille-literate.
Unlimited information to each aspect of the content without limitation in space.
In conventional Braille graphics, the explanations are in Braille. Since Braille is not scalable, only a small amount of information can be provided. The Tactonom Reader, on the other hand, explains the content using audio information. These can be included in unlimited quantity, which enables the understanding even of complex graphics.
Acoustic guidance of the finger and interactive learning possible.
The Tactonom Reader is able to guide the users' fingers via acoustic signals to a selected element in a graphic. In addition, through interactive questions and answers, the Tactonom Reader is able to deepen the understanding of a given graphic.
Simple, independent operation by the blind and visually severely impaired.
To start, a new tactile graphic is placed on the device. The Tactonom Reader automatically recognizes it and is ready to be used. A large number of free audio-tactile graphics are waiting to be discovered!
