Dissertation note: College of Industrial Technology.-- Bachelor of Technology Major in Information Technology: Technological University of the Philippines, Manila. 2019 Summary: Braille is the main reading method of visually impaired individuals that gives them opportunity to independently acquire information and knowledge. However, many blind or partially sighted people discovered that learning to read Braille is difficult, and its use as a lone intervention raises numerous issues. These issues stem from the tactile nature of Braille, which disadvantages those with insensitive tips or with multiple and complex needs. (McLinden and McCall, 2002). The Development of Braille to speech translation with obstacle detection aims to provide a reliable and flexible device for visually impaired individuals. The device features an alert system that prompts vibration if it detects an obstacle within a 2-meter range. For flexibility, we added a Bluetooth module for audio output for wireless connectivity. However, due to various technical limitations, the created prototype is limited to operation during sunny days and cannot operate during rainy days because it is not waterproof. The Braille is for English translations only. The device was programmed using C++ on Arduino IDE (integrated development environment).

Braille is the main reading method of visually impaired individuals that gives them
opportunity to independently acquire information and knowledge. However, many blind or
partially sighted people discovered that learning to read Braille is difficult, and its use as a
lone intervention raises numerous issues. These issues stem from the tactile nature of
Braille, which disadvantages those with insensitive tips or with multiple and complex
needs. (McLinden and McCall, 2002). The Development of Braille to speech translation
with obstacle detection aims to provide a reliable and flexible device for visually impaired
individuals. The device features an alert system that prompts vibration if it detects an
obstacle within a 2-meter range. For flexibility, we added a Bluetooth module for audio
output for wireless connectivity. However, due to various technical limitations, the created
prototype is limited to operation during sunny days and cannot operate during rainy days
because it is not waterproof. The Braille is for English translations only. The device was
programmed using C++ on Arduino IDE (integrated development environment).
