Using a Braille Tachistoscope to Improve Braille Reading Speed

Abstract

This article reports the results of a study that explored the use of a computer-generated tachistoscopelike display of electronic braille to increase the reading speeds of three blind university students. The results did not indicate conclusively that such a program is effective. The subjects’ braille reading speed continued to be slow, which indicates the need for further research in the use of technology to improve braille reading skills.
