Nippon Telesoft participated in the Sight City exhibition of welfare equipment for the visually impaired held in Frankfurt for three days from May 18th, where they showcased their braille printer and braille display “Seika”.

This exhibition is a global-scale exhibition comparable to CSUN and ATIA in the United States, and attracted many visually impaired people as well as specialists from around the world, making it a great success. Demonstrations of the latest equipment were also held, including magnifying reading devices for the visually impaired, OCR machines with text-to-speech functions, and walking aids.

Our braille printer “GEMINI” is compatible with languages ​​from around the world and can print both braille and ink characters, which attracted the attention of stakeholders and led to new proposals for its use. There are other devices that can print quickly and inexpensively, but there is no other device that is quiet and supports both braille and ink characters in the world’s languages, so we expect overseas sales to increase in the future.

In addition to the portable Seika MINI, there are five other types of braille display “Seika”. A new prototype “PC Braille” with a built-in PC was exhibited, which attracted attention.

The World Blind Union (WBU) Annual General Meeting and the International Council for Education for the Vision (ICEVI) were held in Orlando, USA, and Nippon Telesoft exhibited at the accompanying equipment exhibition.

The general meeting was attended by over 600 people, including representatives of blind associations from around the world and educators, and over the five days various issues affecting the visually impaired were discussed.

At the equipment exhibition, our company’s braille printer “Multi” was introduced, highlighting its simultaneous braille and print function.
