The document introduces Braille Messenger, a text messaging system that uses Braille code to allow blind users to compose and receive messages quickly without training. It is free to use for a limited number of daily messages, or subscriptions are available for extra usage. The system has been prototyped on Windows Phone and Android with an iPhone version coming soon. It won first place in an innovation competition in 2012 and has received further funding from European competitions. The project is now managed by Wajee Mobile Ltd.
