Mobile applications for teaching and learning Arabic braille
Nowadays, the literacy rate of the visually impaired people is decreasing and has become a big concern because reading is the main source of information. However, lack of skilled teachers is the main issue that restricts the learning of braille code for blind people. Most of the braille modules...

| description | Nowadays, the literacy rate of the visually
impaired people is decreasing and has become a big concern
because reading is the main source of information. However, lack
of skilled teachers is the main issue that restricts the learning of
braille code for blind people. Most of the braille modules
available in the market today are only catered for languages that
utilize roman alphabets. This made it impossible for users to
learn braille in languages with different alphabets or characters.
The aim of this Arabic Braille Module is to help the visually
impaired people to learn on reading and writing Arabic
characters in braille code. It is also to facilitate the teachers in
demonstrating the braille code in teaching process. A portable
Arabic braille module is to be designed using miniature solenoids
with Arduino Uno as microcontroller. In this work, simulation
and experiments have been conducted to study the capability of
the module to generate output according to specific input
provided from teaching panel designed in mobile applications. At
this current stage, the output of the system is a 3-by-2 array of
LEDs to represent the raising dots of the braille codes. Hopefully
with the invention of this Arabic Braille Module will encourage
the visually impaired people to learn Arabic and eventually
reading Quran in braille. |
