Text to Braille Language Convertor

The visually impaired form an integral part of our society. The National Census of India has estimated around 21.9 Million disabled people in the country. Out of them, more than 15 million people in India are blind. This is the highest among all other disabilities. Three out of every five disabled children in the age group of 0-9 years, have been reported to be visually impaired in India. Due to their disability, visually impaired people face difficulties in gaining full advantage of computers. With the rapid evolution of technology, researchers have proposed to give the blind an ability to take advantage of these advancements. Accordingly, designers and engineers have started working on projects that relate input and output devices to computers for the visually challenged individual to have full control of the machines. The project’s objective is to design and develop a Braille System and output devices for the visually impaired individuals that enable them to interact and communicate. This study proposes an algorithm which enables the user to convert the text that we normally have in our day to day usage into a Braille Script and thus facilitate the visually impaired. The Product that has been created is an intuitive and simplistic design that will enable the end user to comfortably read.
