The device is lightweight, ergonomic, low-cost, and supports silent operation, making it suitable for use in classrooms, workplaces, and public environments without causing disturbance. The system is engineered for high portability, reduced component cost, and ease of use, ensuring accessibility for students, professionals, and elderly users who face challenges using smartphones or conventional assistive tools. The invention promotes inclusive education, social interaction, and digital empowerment by providing a sustainable and affordable alternative to existing Braille technologies, thereby bridging the accessibility gap for visually impaired individuals."
