An IoT Based System for Printing Braille Letter from Speech

Abstract

Visually impaired person cannot perform their activities like ordinary person. It becomes more difficult when a person is visually impaired along with deafness. Sometimes, it is quite impossible to communicate with such people whether in speaking or writing format. Therefore, Expert Braille Communicating System (EBCS) is a promising solution which provides braille writing format from voice. Unfortunately, people of underdeveloped countries are not getting the facilities of advanced electronic braille system for overpricing. In this work, an attempt has taken on designing a modified braille device which is economical and more compelling than previous. The device takes voice as input from an android apps and can convert the voice signal into text format of braille and prints the braille letter in paper. EBCS is trained with 1 epoch and the accuracy is achieved of 97.6%. By implementing the considered Braille system, visually impaired person can entirely engage themselves in the society.
