BBC News - App helps blind to send text messages

“[There is] a growing anxiety shared among the blind community that the widespread adoption of touchscreens for many machines and devices is making them ‘truly blind’… from copying machines to machines at the gym - is all coming with touch screens.”

“Blind people say I ‘see’ things with my fingers, but on touchscreens they are truly blind.” 

This is awesome.
