Braille vs. OCR in Business Cards
accessibility, photos, usabilityA researcher at NIST recently gave me a rather unique business card, with Braille text embossed on the card!

Cool! This would be a great thing for those of us that work with people with visual disabilities.
One catch, though: OCR-reading software such as WorldCard Mobile (on iOS or Android) doesn't like the Braille indentations much... which means that people with visual impairments that can't read Braille -- most of them! -- will stump their OCR software on these cards.
(I realize that the Braille can be read despite my blurring the visual printing on the card. If you can read it, point the researcher to this post!)
