Abstract

Education plays an important role in the growth of a person’s skill in the society. But there are many obstacles which may occur globally and must be considered to achieve this goal. One among them is the blind people who needs education to reduce the effect of their difficulties. The aim is to provide Braille conversion for all the visually impaired to gain knowledge. The task's goal is to plan and build up a Braille System and yield gadgets for the outwardly debilitated people that empower them to interface and impart. This examination proposes a calculation which empowers the client to change over the content that we typically have in our everyday utilization into a Braille script and along these lines encourage the outwardly weakened. The product that has been made is a natural and oversimplified plan that will empower the end client to easily peruse.
