Abstract: Communication between the deafblind and the society has always been a challenge and always a human-interpreter is required for the communication between them. Hence, we present the system which is capable of converting Braille Code to English and vice-versa, through which the society as well as the deafblind can communicate with each other using this system. This system consists of two main sub-systems: The Recognition System-which converts Braille to English and The Teaching System-which converts English to Braille
Description: Braille is one of tactual communication media for blind, deaf-blind & dumb-blind people. Usually human-interpreters are needed for communication between these impaired people and the society. Hence, there arises a need for a method to help these impaired people. Therefore, we intend to design a system which allows for effective communication between these impaired people and the society. Basically the system that we have designed consists of two main sub-systems: Recognition System & Teaching System. The Recognition system converts Braille code entered by the deaf blind people to English text. The Teaching system converts English text to Braille. There are two separate systems, one with the impaired, System 1, and other with people who want to communicate with the deafblind, System 2. The communication between the two systems is through zigbee, so that people can communicate even though they are at different places. This can be further replaced by GSM networks so that people at different countries can communicate. As the results of the evaluation experiment of the system, The Recognition System converted Braille code to English and The Teaching System did the vice-versa conversion. The system worked effectively, which indicates it can be used as a real-time application

Application: If the system is made more compact and small it can be used by many deafblind people which is of cheaper cost affordable by the Indian economy
