DRISHYAM: Real-Time Text to Braille Conversion and Realisation

For a blind person it is a challenge to read normal text. In this paper a device enabled with mobile application is proposed that enables the visually impaired person to read the text. The mobile application `Eyes of DRISHYAM' captures images through camera and interface with hardware unit i.e. Braille cell via Bluetooth, controlled through Arduino Uno. The study approaches towards the development of a Braille cell under $50 which will be portable as well as affordable.
