The Talking Tactile Tablet, also known as TTT or T3, enables audio-tactile learning and fun.
The TTT connects via USB to a computer. Children and adults place one of many touchable
overlays on the TTT. As they explore raised-line and textured images and braille text, users can
press down on any part to hear audio descriptions or to interact with programs. Touch Graphics
and its partners have created educational applications and authoring tools for the TTT,
and it is currently in wide use around the world. The TTT is inexpensive and very easy to use.
Prices for the TTT and applications appear on the back of this flyer
The TTT and applications have been developed
though a series of research grants from
United States Department of Education,
National Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation
Research, and the National Science Foundation.
These agencies have not endorsed these products.
