a new app has been launched to help blind and partially sighted people in developing countries to access information in braille, large print and audio formats.
The free app, called EasyConverter Express, has been developed by Dolphin with support from the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) and grant support from Google.org as a gift to the World Blind Union (WBU) and International Council for Education of People with Visual Impairment (ICEVI).
It is estimated that there are 253 million people worldwide with vision impairment, and it is hoped that this app will reach many of those living in developing countries.
EasyConverter Express is available in English, French & Portuguese and is a free download for individuals with sight loss or organisations working with blind and partially sighted children and adults in developing countries.
