Dots to Dialogue: Enhancing Accessibility through Braille Image-to-Speech Conversion

Braille script serves as a fundamental medium of communication for individuals with visual impairments. However, its interpretation by non-experts poses a significant challenge, hindering inclusivity in education and daily interactions. This study proposes a system that leverages Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and the Google Text-to-Speech (GTTS) library to translate Braille text into multilingual speech. This research addresses the challenge of Braille literacy among visually impaired individuals by developing a system that translates Braille text into multilingual speech. The proposed solution utilizes advanced CNNs for accurate Braille character recognition and integrates GTTS technology for real-time speech output. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in accessibility and communication for users, with an accuracy rate of 97.28% achieved using the AlexNet model.”
