1st Place Prize - IBM Swag Bag ($45 Value)

Today, many organizations across the globe have departments dedicated to ensuring that their products/offerings are accessible. These organizations often have accessibility standards that each internal team is required to meet. Despite all this work, product usability remains a huge issue for many disabled individuals. For this hackathon, we would like participants to come up with an API that addresses an existing accessibility concern. Just as an example, an API that easily converts and translates text into braille so that embossers can print out documents for low vision and blind individuals.
