| description | Purpose:
The purpose of the study was to find out the preferred, accurate, and effective way to identify the new Indian currency note by a blind individual.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted in two phases among 30 subjects in a school for the blind. In phase 1, comparison was done in terms of accuracy and the time taken to identify the Indian currency between the old and new currency notes by using the tactile method by the blind individuals. In phase 2, comparison was done same as phase 1, with the addition of two more note identification methods, one was by using Mani note identifier application via smart phone and the other was Notex. The accuracy and time were analyzed and compared for all three used methods for both phases.
Results:
Thirty blind individuals were included in the study. The mean age of the subjects was 29.43 years (±10.88 years) and the age range was 18–54 years. The total time taken to identify all the currency notes in each category was recorded in seconds. The average time taken with the help of tactile sense was 75.34 s, but the accuracy here was very poor, even many currencies went unidentified. The average time taken with the help of Notex was 136.54 s. The average time taken with the help of Mani mobile note identifier software was 774.07 s.
Conclusion:
Notex was the most effective method of identifying Indian currency as compared to the other two methods that were used in our study. |
