Ceramic Handicrafts Special for Blind People Produced in Iran
“Our focus is on designing and producing handmade ceramic products for special days,” said Tajpour, the manager of the new creative company.
“Our most special innovation for the blind and commemoration of the International White Cane Day, is making possible for these people to benefit from the beauty of art by using Braille on ceramic bodies,” the manager added.
The innovative product was unveiled at the 36th National Handicrafts Exhibition in Iran.
Earlier, another creative product was also produced by an Iranian company which makes the process of accessing the pages of different websites and reading their texts easier for the blind.
"’Follow’ service (internet assistant for the blind) is a product and among the measures by which the company could join the list of creative companies," said Alireza Qassemi, the executive director of the knowledge-based ‘Poli Be Sooye Farda’ company.
He added that the product automatically detects and identifies the main text of a webpage and removes its unnecessary texts, including the advertisement.
“The product makes it possible to switch between different pages of a website and access the main text of that page with the help of speech recognition and text to speech services and the up and down buttons of smart phones,” Qassemi said.
