The utilization of Braille patterns has long been instrumental in facilitating literacy among visually impaired individuals, enabling them to decipher alphabets and numerals through tactile means. In this project, an innovative integration of Braille and servo motor technology is employed to render electronic text accessible to individuals with visual impairments. Each character within an electronic file is systematically translated into its corresponding Braille representation, with servo motors dynamically facilitating the tactile presentation of these patterns. Upon receiving input, the system activates the necessary servo motors, causing them to rotate 90 degrees above the surface, thereby bringing the Braille representations into physical contact with the user. To read the content, individuals simply touch these servo motors, allowing them to sense and interpret the encoded alphabetic or numeric information. This approach not only enhances accessibility but also promotes independent literacy among visually impaired individuals. By combining Braille with servo motor technology, this project offers a promising solution for overcoming barriers to information access, fostering inclusivity, and empowering individuals with visual impairments to engage with electronic text effectively.
