BRAILLE TRAINING CENTER

Abstract

Industrial engineering education has evolved significantly in response to the changing demands of industry and society.
Inclusive education ensures the full development and active participation of all individuals, regardless of their abilities. The braille training center consists of a braille keyboard with Bluetooth connectivity to a smartphone, allowing the selected letter to be converted into sound through a dedicated application. The keyboard also has the function of sending the print command to a Braille system printer. The printer operates with low noise and creates characters in a unique format using embossing punches. This enables visually impaired individuals to identify their writing and print with auditory assistance.
The braille training center is a pivotal tool in education, facilitating access to information and the engagement of individuals with visual disabilities. Nevertheless, the scarcity and high cost of specifically designed digital platforms hinder their utilization and create barriers to academic and personal development. Integrating cognitive skills through text-to-speech conversion ensures the teaching-learning process and literacy. This is essential for fostering communication and comprehension skills in a society that primarily employs text for recording and transmitting information. Inclusive education enhances the quality of life for individuals with visual impairments and guarantees equal access to academic and employment opportunities.
