Dot Mini. The first smart media device for the visually impaired. It makes any digital text content accessible through the innovative Dot Translation Engine based on AI.
The Dot Translation Engine can automatically convert any digital text into Grade 2 Braille. The 16 Cell Active Braille Display is built with the innovative (70 patents) Dot Technology, uniquely based on magnetism, which reduces size, weight, power consumption and price by up to ten times. Dot Mini can access digital text files from online libraries and websites, local and network storage. Full audio support with speaker, headphones and microphone allows multisensory experiences like karaoke and even experiencing movies. Intuitive control elements (directional pad, select, menu, scroll buttons) and voice recognition make interactive applications like text editing, calculation and even games possible. Various interfaces: USB, Micro USB, Micro HDMI, SD Card, WiFi and Bluetooth. Comfortably portable: 158x108x18mm / 256g.
Feedback during ongoing closed beta phase and rollout of first 1000 units in Kenya and India confirm that Dot Mini is a life-changing device for the visually impaired. 200,000 books are already directly available through partnerships with big content platforms like Rakuten Kobo and Yes24. 40,000 units are pre-ordered for global launch in late 2018. First 1000 units are being delivered to India and Kenya through Korean national development agency KOICA.
