2 develop device to generate real-time Braille impressions

Thu, 01/06/2022 - 10:54 -- geeta.nair

Bengaluru: Inspired by the idea that reading is a joy no one   should be deprived of, two youngsters have developed an  advanced Braille reader and navigation system.
Ruchitha   J and Rohit Natesh have created a prototype of the system  that consists of a box-like device generating real-time  Braille impressions. The user needs to click on the link  to an article or a book’s PDF and the text is converted into   Braille immediately. “The system is developed to have a  visually impaired-friendly interface with help of voice  instructions and a physical button setup,” Ruchitha said.
