Voice Activated Portable Braille with Audio Feedback

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to create a Voice Activated Braille as a portable device that will help individuals who are blind or visually impaired without any partial help to recognize certain written characters. This is a system controlled by Arduino that will be able to direct blind people. The system acts mostly as a guide for the blind, a particular virtual environment for the visually disadvantaged, making them similarly optimistic to the rest of the world's regular citizens. Blind people will benefit from these innovative braille methods to tackle the challenge of information technology around the world. This system is compact and will keep blind people from partial assistance and can also help them read something without any help. Thus, the daily inconvenience of blind individuals can be significantly decreased and they can enjoy a certain level of freedom and activity.
