"Touchscreens may have kicked-off a mobile computing revolution, but
they didn't do much for the visually impaired. OwnFone, which launched a
customizable mobile phone for kids and the elderly back in 2012, is now
offering its stripped-down handset with braille or raised text contact
buttons."

Great idea!

Share and enjoy,
