Fifty-seven million visually impaired people in India lack real-time access to content as less than 1% of content is available in Braille.

For blind and low vision Indians, accessing content real-time is a major challenge. Consider this. Less than 1% of reading material available in Braille content, leaving them dependent on audio recordings. A 300-page book takes nearly six weeks to be audio recorded and delivered. When it comes to e-books in regional languages, the situation is worse as the non-Unicode fonts make them inaccessible by screen readers.
