利用集成电子技术开发了一种新型盲人直译阅读器。图像传感由144个单元的单片光电晶体管阵列完成。光信号由高效的多路复用电路处理，并自动补偿读取材料中的光学变化。触觉输出图像由振动压电簧片阵列提供。令人鼓舞的测试结果表明，这种阅读辅助工具可能会在盲人中得到广泛应用。
A novel direct-translation reading aid for the blind has been developed using integrated electronics. Image sensing is accomplished by a 144-element monolithic phototransistor array. Photo signals are processed by efficient multiplex circuitry, with automatic compensation for optical changes in reading material. A tactile output image is provided by an array of vibratory piezo-electric reeds. Encouraging test results indicate that the reading aid could become widely used among the blind.
