Device to Assist the Visually Impaired in Reading Printed or Scanned Documents

Abstract: Individuals with visual impairment have their ability to access information limited by the lack of mass literature in Braille. This paper presents an embedded application to aid the visually impaired that allows reading and writing printed and/or digitized documents. The solution, designated PORTÁCTIL, is a device composed of five modules: (1) electromechanical Braille cells, (2) hand motion sensor, (3) processing unit, (4) wireless communication and (5) power supply. The text, locally stored or received by wi… Show more

“…Referring to the problem identified, the scientific community has created some assistive technologies in the learning processes of visually impaired children (VIC). For example in [3] is developed an Audio Video Describer using narration to visualize movie films; in [4] is presented an embedded application (Portáctil) to aid the visually impaired that allows reading and writing printed or digitized documents; in [5] is exposed the design, development and usability of two based on audio virtual environments (AudioMath and Theo & Seth) that increase mathematics learning in VIC.…”
