Instagram Post with caption Last month we attended Sight Village Birmingham where we had the chance to meet with Jack Marshall. Jack is a university student studying Computer Science and Music Production and has written that “adaptations have played and still play a major part throughout my educational journey, and they enable me to survive and thrive. One example is the tactile writing system braille. I have used braille in multiple forms from regular braille, braille music and even braille codes for other languages”. Jack had the opportunity to try out Paige Connect and even left us a note! You can learn more about his journey in education at https://buff.ly/47grzfb

Instagram Post with caption Braille writers are mechanical devices that have been used for over 70 years to create braille. While they remain reliable, we want to modernise this iconic braille tool. We built Paige Connect, an affordable adaptation for existing braille writers. Thank you for being a part of our journey to make braille technology more accessible and inclusive.
