This talk will focus on how assistive technologies can be harnessed to empower visually and hearing impaired people to take communication into their own hands. Ranganathan will explain how she created and implemented a voice-to-text-to-refreshable braille solution for the deaf blind community that has received recognition from organizations in India, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Canada. This MIT student talk is presented in conjunction with the List Center’s exhibition Christine Sun Kim: Off the Charts.
