Smart Braille Learning Blocks System

Abstract

This project outlines the design and programming phases of a Braille language learning system. The Braille learning block can teach anyone to read Braille. This project began with the teaching of letters to learners with a single Braille block. Now, multiple blocks can be connected to one another to create words. The Braille Block is programmed using Arduino and a voice recognition module. The user speaks the desired letter, number, or word and the Braille equivalent will appear on the blocks. Preprogrammed inputs which include the alphabet, numbers, and certain words are included. The project is designed to continue with the students as they progress throughout their learning process.
