General information

Short Summary
The Scripor Alphabet redefines fashion accessibility by introducing tactile color codes for the blind and visually impaired. Through collaboration with industry leaders, it bridges the gap between design and inclusivity, empowering brands to embrace accessibility, expand their markets, and make a lasting social impact. The entity is looking for fashion companies and designers to integrate the Scripor Alphabet into their products, promoting greater inclusion and accessibility.
Full Description
The Scripor Alphabet is a patented universal tactile color system specifically designed to enable blind and visually impaired individuals to identify and experience colors independently. By integrating this system into the fashion industry, brands can revolutionize inclusivity, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded this community from engaging fully with fashion.

The Scripor Alphabet introduces a standardized, tactile code for colors. Each color is represented by a unique and easily recognizable tactile symbol, designed to be felt with the fingertips. This system transforms color from a visual concept into a multisensory experience, empowering users to choose clothing, accessories, and products confidently and independently.

The solution is flexible and versatile, allowing it to be applied across a wide range of fashion products, including:
• Clothing labels: stitched or embossed with tactile color codes.
• Packaging and tags: featuring tactile color markings for product identification.
• Buttons and accessories: integrating the tactile code into design elements.
• Smart integration: combining with NFC tags, QR codes, and digital apps to provide both physical and online interaction. This bridges the gap between the tactile world and digital experiences, offering product information, styling tips, and accessibility features with a simple touch.

The system can be customized to fit each brand’s identity while maintaining the standardized tactile language, ensuring both uniqueness and universal recognition.

A Patented Innovation

The Scripor Alphabet is a globally patented technology, safeguarding its unique approach to tactile color identification. Its innovation lies not only in its design but also in its scalability and adaptability across industries, with the fashion sector leading the way in its implementation (education, technology, consumer goods, healthcare, art).
The patent covers the specific tactile symbols and structure, ensuring that any implementation of this system is protected and exclusive to partners.
