“Berman Corner”

A printed document (a business card, a handout, a magazine,…), after being printed gets a tiny 45-degree cut of paper trimmed from one of its four corners. The cut is not large enough to get in the way of the printed message, but large enough that a person who can’t see can notice that one of the corners is intentionally chopped. This tactile clue is a signal that, within 3.5 inches of that corner there is a scannable code, such as a QR code. The person then uses any barcode scanning app on their smartphone (e.g. Google Goggles) to scan the code (if they don’t find one on one side of the paper, they try the other side). The code then identifies the document, contains all the document information, and/or takes them to the accessible equivalent online (perhaps a PDF or a Web page).

The cut corner is a very inexpensive approach: scissors can be used for a single document, while commercial printers can very inexpensively shave a corner on a print job upon request (we’d like to think that commercial printers will even embrace providing such an accommodation at no charge.)

Meanwhile, QR codes cost nothing to create: there are many free online tools for making them.

This was all the result of design research (led by Khadija Safri) that included studying other attempts by public and private sector organizations to put indicators on documents (identity cards, hotel electronic room keys), and testing various prototypes with people who are blind.
