Abstract: this paper presents an embedded system based approach to implement the text to speech (TTS) with Smartphone App, to facilitate learning of Braille literacy system, aimed primarily at children between 4 and 7 years, taking into account physical and functional aspects that assure as comfort, inspiration, perpetuity and user-friendliness with Braille language. The device communicates wirelessly with a smartphone mobile, computer system and it is integrated with smartphone app and software that will be tutor, the output will be audible & embossing at user end (blind) and evaluating the blind entered text by generating a sound of right or wrong word. So speech synthesis and Text to speech is used for the system.
Speech Synthesis is the simulation of the human speech. The design is based on electronic system with enhanced computing algorithm is known as speech synthesizer. The text from Smartphone APP is communicating to the Braille Display and Braille Piezo cells. The Text to Speech (TTS) allows the teacher to provide the braille code embossed over braille display and listening over the loudspeaker to the visual impaired persons. The aim is to make the teacher independent from the hardware and simple conversation from text to speech by using Smartphone app or Computer App. The system will be portable solution for visual impaired students.
