Braille keyboard phone went on sale
Hi, Habr!
Continuing the topic of empowerment, be sure to remember about the use of communication by people with poor eyesight and blind. I am sure that they already use the phones, but this is due to some inconveniences.
This problem was solved by OwnFone, which has been producing phones since 2012 using 3D printing. Simply put, the company offers a designer who allows you to make a simple phone with your own design for £ 50–60 for a child, for yourself, for your grandmother. Or for a person who would be much more comfortable using a Braille phone.

The manufacturer does not offer ready-made phones, but a designer . You can choose text buttons, photo buttons, or a braille option. After that, you will be offered a number of buttons, as well as a design - from the existing ones, or you can load your own. The most expensive phone costs about 70 pounds.
For the production of technology used 3D printing. This is what allows for the "flexibility" of production of gadgets for everyone. Unfortunately, only for the British.
Thus, OwnFone, practically changing nothing in their work, is now able to provide convenient use of the phone by people with visual limitations.
Testing this version was conducted by a seven-year-old boy named Will.
About the technical characteristics say nothing. There is no screen on the phone, all the buttons are initially made in the constructor, their number is selected there, then they are signed with text, photos or Braille. The design can be loaded by you, or selected from existing ones. Everything is utterly simple.
