About us
Tactile Engineering, Inc. is an Indiana-based startup developing advanced assistive technologies, and is the creator and IP holder of the Cadence Tactile Tablet technology. Our team combines lifetimes of experience in engineering, product development, entrepreneurship, and accessibility. The Cadence tablet is a tablet computer for the blind. It features 384 rapidly refreshing Braille dots that form a rectangular “screen” that users can touch and read. Up to four Cadence tablets can be combined to form larger screen sizes, offering unprecedented access to tactile graphics, animation, and multi-line Braille reading. Cadence is the beginning of a revolution in STEM and Braille education, workplace comfort, standardized testing, and leisure time for millions of blind and visually-impaired individuals around the world.
