Description
Summary:In this paper, a novel idea in reading aid technology for the blind is introduced. Many of these people face issues to lead their life normally. Therefore, a prototype that will help the blind by converting a text document into braille dots. The Braille Board is a device that takes any form of a text document as input and converts it into its respective Braille dots for low-vision and visually impaired people. This study proposes a solenoid actuation design and implementation technique for the Braille Board in particular. They can access the content with a variety of tools, including screen readers and text-to-speech converters. By using this, they will only be able to listen to screen readers and not know the spelling of a few uncommon words, and most of the time, these screen readers are computerized voices, which may be inconvenient.
