Blitab
The world’s first tactile tablet
for the visually impaired.
BLITAB® is the World’s first tactile tablet for the blind and visually impaired. BLITAB® is a next curve Braille
device for reading and writing that displays one whole page Braille text, without any mechanical elements. It’s like
an e-book, which displays small physical bubbles instead of a screen display, the bubbles rise and fall on demand,
resulting in one whole page which can be read and written via a Braille Perkins Keyboard. For the first time users can
have an overview of a whole document.
BLITAB® allows a direct converting of any text file into Braille from USB sticks, memory Cards, web browsing and
obtaining information via NFC tags. Our aim is to make BLITAB a leader in digital lifestyle for every blind and
visually impaired user. Our motivation – to make blind people independent at school, at home, and at work which
enables them to maintain gainful employment. The BLITAB website includes a LISTENING option for the visually
impaired. For more information visit http://blitab.com/#about
