Abstract

This paper describes the design and potential implementation of the Electronic Braille Training System which automates the process of teaching a blind user the Grade-1 Braille English alphabet. Current Braille training systems have seen little development and lack the necessary functionality at reduced costs. A low-cost electronic Braille training system is designed and built which requires minimal user input by using audio to convey information to the user. Training schemes require the user to enter a certain letter, as dictated by the speakers, into the Braille keyboard. Upon incorrect entry, the correct keys are lifted to show the user the correct representation of the letter, by touch.
