Morse-Comm: Mobile Application Environment for Visually-Impaired and Neuro-Muscular Disabled People Using Morse Code Conversion

In a world where the next great invention is expected to appear on mobile phone screens, visually impaired people and people with Neuro-Muscular disabilities have been left behind. This paper describes a new Android application, "Morse-Comm" that improves the mobile phone experience for the visually impaired people or people with Neuro-Muscular disabilities who can barely speak by presenting a slate on which they can draw sequences of dots and dashes i.e. Morse code through "gestures" and use the application for intercommunication. The application is also used as Morse keyboard for writing documents on a personal computer. "Morse-Comm" provides better, more private and more efficient inter-communication mechanism for the blind as well as the people with Neuro-Muscular disorders.
