Link to the web article is at the end. Purdys Braille Holiday Box The box features braille orientation tabs, a braille chocolate legend and a QR code that brings users who are blind or partially sighted to an accessible screen reader version of the legend. "The braille on the Purdys box is about more than accessibility, it's about inclusion. It's about feeling seen, heard, and cared about as a consumer and frankly, as a person," says Molly Burke, a leading digital creator in the blind and partially sighted community. "Imagine going 27 years without being able to pick your own chocolates without the help of another person or technology, that's been my life until now. This is more than a box of chocolates, it's the sign of change." To spread the joy even further, the full Purdys legend is also available in the 10 most spoken languages in Canada (English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Mandarin, Cantonese, Punjabi, Tagalog and Arabic). The multilanguage legend is available to view at www.purdys.com/chocolate-legend<http://www.purdys.com/chocolate-legend>. Purdys has also made a $10,000 CAD donation to the CNIB Foundation through Purple Partnerships, their philanthropic initiative.
