Not every visually impaired is aware on how to read he Braille. This watch has features for such users as well. It can be set to a tactile mode which does not need the user to know Braille. The time is displayed through number of dots.
Husna Ameen, who is visually impaired, is a computer trainer from Kerala. She believes that this new smartwatch is going to be path-breaking.
Usually, a person who does not know how to read Braille cannot avail exclusive facilities like Braille libraries and so on. But here, Dot Corporation has even introduced tutorials to learn Braille so that any person can use the watch. I have used talking watches which is not easily available. We can set alarms and even know time. But its main drawback is that users cannot adjust the volume. Hopefully, this new Braille smartwatch will be introduced in India at cheaper rates in months to come- Husna Ameen,
