A British company plans to launch a Braille e-reader for blind people this year, which would greatly enhance their reading experience and spare them from lugging around hefty print volumes.

Bristol Braille Technology hopes to launch Canute 360, their new ‘Kindle for the blind’, which displays nine lines of text at a time, or about a third of a page of regular print.

“This means you only have to press the forward button every 360 characters rather than every 20,” said Stephanie Sergeant, whose company Vision Through Sound provides training for blind people and has been working with Bristol Braille.

Any text that has been translated into Braille format can be downloaded into the Canute.
