Mobile platform for the blind via Baidu

A mobile phone platform for blind people has been launched through Baidu’s search engine open platform. It aims to help the blind make phone calls, send messages, and even surf the mobile internet more easily.
The platform was developed by Cao Jun, chairman and CEO of Beijing-based Protection & Ease who is also blind. People who want to use the service can search with related keywords and complete a series of steps, including gaining information about the product features, learning how to use the product, consulting, ordering and installation.
English.Eastday.com reports that under the guidance of the China Foundation for Disabled Persons and the China Association of the Blind, Protection & Ease and Baidu have jointly held a product launch and experience meeting, during which Baidu announced that it will buy 150 sets of the new product and donate them to the blind.
