<body> The Lormer is a new high tech user friendly aid for deafblind people. It comprises computer-controlled mechanical equipment, which turns text into the transmits movement indications of a stylus oninto the palminner surface of af the user’s hand and thus makes it possible for the deafblind to communicate with others and to understand those others and text without external assistance any machine-readable text. The software and the prototype of the Lormers were developed and/or invented by Thomas Rupp and completed in April 2008. The name Lormer is derived from Hieronymus Lorm (1821 - 1902), – who became deaf at the age of 15 and then found that his eyesight was failing. failing. In the middle of the 19th Century he developed a touch or manual alphabetmanual alphabet called Lormen, in order to be able to communicate with his fellow men. This alphabet works by assigning points on the heel and palm of a hand and lines are assigned in such a way that combinations of lines & points, drawn directly on the hand are given letters or letter combinations. The Lormen language is language is still at the present day the most important communication form for deafblind people. The Lormer is particularly important to those deafblind people who cannot use Braille but who have the ability to could control a Lormer. These people are, currently, always dependent on a translator, who lorms newspaper texts or letters, for example, into their hand. This task of lorming text is taken over by the Lormer. Word documents, emails, web pages and texts of all kinds,, are converted by the Lormer software into motion, of the stylus built into the Lormer hardware.The hand of the deafblind person is placed on a cushioned pad, palm upwards, and the Lormer stylus draws lines on the palm in the form of Lormen characters enabling the person to receive communication direct from a computer without any intermediary. The most important functions of the Lormer can be performedserved by deafblind people humans with few buttons very simply using over a Joystick. Since the equipment has an acoustic output and speech recognition, spoken text can be turned drectly into Lormmoves using a microphone. This enables direct person to person communication between the deafblind and those who are not deafblind The deafblind can also react directly to the spoken and/or Lormered text and communicate directly with other people in this way. A keyboard is used by the deafblind person to enter an answer. Simultaneously as the user depresses a key the appropriate letter is Lormered as a check into the hand of the deafblind user. In this way the deafblind user recognizes the arrangement of the keys on the keyboard and can then learn the independent writing of text. The Lormer offers deafblind people an independent and above all intelligent access to currently inaccessible information as well as extended communication and learning possibilities. </body>
