Inventors include Rahul Raj Singh; Aman Kumar Singh; Nikhil Bansal V; Tejasvat R; and Sritama Roy.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: A system 100 to convert printed text 102 into vibration-based Braille patterns 116 includes a camera module 104 to capture images including printed text 102; an optical character reader 110 to extract text from captured images; and a microcontroller 106 operatively coupled with the camera module 104 and the optical character reader 110, including a Braille mapping module 108, a database, one or more processors to perform operations to receive images captured by the camera module 104 through local network 130; pre-process received image to reduce noise using Open CV; send processed images to optical character reader 110 to map each character and provide output in the form of text strings; phrase out extracted text strings character-by-character for forming corresponding 6-bit binary pattern 116 using Braille mapping module 108; and generate six-bit Braille pattern 116 for each character by activating corresponding vibration motors 112 for user to read.
