Dutch university student creates SMS device for the blind

A student at the Technical University of Eindhoven (TU/e) has developed a device which enables blind people to send an SMS, and to send texts using only one hand. The 25 year old Guus Hilt created for his thesis a plastic egg-shaped device called Tactile Texting. The device is wirelessly connected to a phone. The device has grooves with which all letters and numbers can be used with only one hand. The written letter is highlighted and then the letters are converted to text in the mobile phone..
