Abstract

Deaf-blind people face major communication issues due to a lack of appropriate technology. Our system, a braille device designed specifically for the deaf-blind, provides a solution to the problem by allowing users to feel and interpret each letter by touch in real-time, enabling smooth conversation. They can understand messages and interact meaningfully with this tactile interface, thereby overcoming the communication gap. The innovation allows deaf-blind people to participate more completely in social interactions and access information independently, improving their quality of life and promoting inclusion.
