Thanks goes to my friend Kate for this. I am not sure if we have seen this project before, but the article is very recent.
The device sounds a bit like an Optacom that produces braille instead of raised print. Obviously it is more complicated, because it involves a translation stage. I think there was a French device that could do this some time ago, though I forget what it was called and I never tried one. Does anyone know about it?

Hi
At least with the Optacon you could correct your scanning as soon as you noticed that the letters weren’t in the middle of the vibrating cell. This would be impossible if characters were being translated into Braille. I suppose it would just stop translating.
I don’t think I’d like to go back to anything as difficult as the Optacon for my main access to print.
I still have a working Optacon and do use it occasionally.

Hi Paul et al
Thanks very much for sharing this.
I am pretty sure that various versions of the female student inventor project have been doing the rounds on tech news sites for a few months. What I rarely get from these articles is a clear and credible sense of what happens next or where blind braille readers like us can try it out and provide feedback?
From Steve's description, I think I saw Top-Braille at Sight Village about 3 years ago. I found that moving my hand in a completely straight line across a page from left to right is easier said than done. Suspect I'm not alone in that? Has anyone heard anything about Top-Braille more recently?
All the best.
