<br/><br/> One of the major problems of the blind is the lack of technological innovations to aid them.<br/>The purpose of the study was to develop a Braille Device with an android application that<br/>can make calls and send text messages while utilizing speech synthesizer in a portable way,<br/>so it can be used anywhere. The Android-based Braille interface for the Blind was<br/>developed using Arduino as the microcontroller and the Call and SMS Android application<br/>using Java Language. The system’s compatibility was tested in terms of Android version,<br/>it can run at Android 5.0 Lollipop version up to latest. The system’s portability was<br/>determined that it can fit a minimum of 2.7” smartphone width to 4.0” to use it anywhere.<br/>The researchers had conducted interviews from the students of the Philippine National<br/>School for the Blind on their current stand in technological communication and the current<br/><br/>technology used for communication and came up with a solution that would be cost-<br/>efficient and has a good approach to the blind users. The all over the meaning of the project<br/>is 3.87 which is equivalent to “Very good” concluded that the project would be beneficial<br/>to Blind people as it would be faster and easier to use.
