Non-touchscreen phones were a lot easier to incorporate Braille on, the language used by the visually impaired, as compared to touchscreen phones, with the lack of tactile gradients. However, researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a prototype mobile application, which allows users to access Braille on a touchscreen phone. They said that the app can be used for under the table texting at a meeting without anyone knowing or texting while watching television without taking one's eyes off the screen. The prototype application basically provides a way for those using touchscreen mobile devices to text without taking their eyes away from whatever they were focusing on previously. Assuming they know Braille, of course.
