General information
What is braille in education?
Braille is the code by which blind or low vision children have access to education and written information, we all know that EDUCATION is a fundamental right that all human beings must have and that it allows us to acquire knowledge and have the opportunity to create a future.
The problem:
Braille education presents BARRIERS, access to written information and education in Braille is complicated in less developed countries, special education centers where do not have inclusive tools in schools, the teachers of these children have difficulties to offer them an appropriate education and help them develop their abilities in the same way as a child without blindness. They require an accessible world and an accessible education in Braille.
The books, the didactic resources are expensive, there is very little offer of specialized schools and these ones are infrequent and the integration in the classrooms is complicated.
The solution:
By offering technology in Braille, we collaborate to create an accessible education, respecting the diversity of children, taking full advantage of Braille teaching.
It is necessary to have accessible tools that promote the capabilities of people
The BraiBook device is a tool for braille and language learning that eliminates barriers to access to school books, university books and connects education in its entire essence with the teacher.
Do you want to help us?

You can put a point in braille in their education, in the history of life and in the future of many children who are part of the centers that require educational resources in Braille.

Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign
In the world there are almost 285 million people with visual disabilities, of which 39 million are totally blind. Braille is not an accessible system for people with low resources, 8 out of 10 blind children are not in school due to lack of adapted material. (WHO)
People with visual disabilities faces a lot of difficulties; On the one hand, the low supply of books in Braille and, on the other hand, the difficult access to these books, due to the high cost of the Braille reading systems currently available in the market.
Join the commitment to:
Remove barriers to access braille.
Promote education.
Give access to written information.
Create inclusion in the classrooms.
Why this is important

We are a team of 6 people and we have been working on the BraiBook project for 4 years.
BraiBook started to market in 2018 and has had very good reception among Braille readers, both for Braille reading, Braille learning and English language learning in Braille.
BraiBook is the first eRader that facilitates access to braille reading, has capacity for more than 8000 books in Braille, it works automatically without the need of a program or external device to transfer the digital document to Braille.
Social commitment
Educational
Children with blindness, in developing countries or with few economic resources, lack inclusive tools in schools. The teachers of these children have difficulties in offering a quality education and helping them to develop their abilities in the same way as a child without blindness. Help us to create an education with the same conditions of educational opportunities. Training is the path to personal growth and development. If children are trained, tomorrow they will be able to develop their personal and professional skills like other sighted people.
