My take on it. "Search Engine and on-line newspaper, frree for the
blind (of Italy, it would appear.) (Not all that unique, except that
it's probably designed for the blind, like in Italiano.) It's nothing
to do with the thin-film braille display item.

Hi Beth -- Reading this post a couple of times I have concluded that
either
the translator doesn't know english or the system doesn't do much...
I haven't gone to the website however. Is this related to the earlier
post
Friday about the tactile display developed in Spain? Is this some sort
of
screen reader software or a hardware technology?
Thanks for the post -- perhaps I should go to the site.
Have a good weekend.
