Abstract
This paper, present an innovative method to create a Braille printer (Braille Embosser), which would be controlled by voice. By giving a voice command, the printer would provide the required embossed character. The technique would be most helpful for visually disabled people to perform their typing task. The main objective is to create a speech controlled printer using various electrical and mechanical domains such as digital signal processing, analog circuit design, and interfacing the electrical bobbins.
