| Abstract(in English) | A previous study was shown readable dimensions of braille on swell paper. Based on this finding, we developed two kinds of braille fonts. They have smaller points and larger spaces than a popular existing braille font. We conducted an experiment in which readability of three kinds of braille font, two of them were developed by us and the other is currently widely used in Japan, were evaluated of readability. We used three indicators, reading time, error and subjective evaluation. As the result, one of the two fonts that we have developed was found to be the most readable. |
