It did look a little interesting, but I share much of the same skepticism. I have no problem at all with Kickstarter, and I don't even have a problem with the method of getting the letters to raise up on the sheet of paper. However, I do have a bit of a problem with some company saying they found something that works better than braille, when what they really have done is try to change the English alphabet. I mean really, if you're gonna modify an inkjet printer to print raised letters, then you don't have to modify the alphabet in any way except to make the letters larger so they are easy to feel. If the target truly is those people who have become blind or visually impaired later in life, then what is the point of making them learn new letters, when using the same technique, they could simply read the letters they have used all their lives? Just my thoughts.
