Tellalouch aids blind deaf in silent conversations across Kansas
A small Tellalouch device enables a deaf blind user, August Bender, to converse by touch. The portable machine translates typed letters into raised dots for silent communication. Otto Peterson of Garden City trained Bender and 230 others in a 42 county area, with support from the American Foundation for the Blind and state welfare services.
