Braille is a material arrangement system used by an outwardly debilitated and the apparently upset. It is a customary formed with constrained paper. They can make Braille with the initial slate and stylus or type it on a Braille essayist. In this undertaking we are working up another methodology using a Braille framework to scrutinize for understudies. Electronic Braille Readers are becoming popular worldwide day by day among the visually disabled people. Our project Electronic Braille Alphabet Reader for learners is developed to support Multilanguage. With this project we have chosen to give them the learning unit and undeniable gadget which can diminish their work and implants excitation to learn essential letters in Braille to completely fledged use for outwardly impeded.

The aim of the chapter is to review the most recent advances in electro-optical technologies applied to visually disabled people. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the number of people in the world with some kind of visual impairment is 285 million, with 246 million of these persons in a partially sighted or Low Vision (LV) condition. The top three causes of visual impairment are uncorrected refractive errors, cataracts and glaucoma, followed by age-related macular degeneration. On the other hand, Head Mounted Displays or electro-optical materials used in liquid crystal or electrochromic devices can be used in technical aids for LV. In this chapter, the authors review how disabled people receive real world information using these new technologies, how the recently developed electro-optical technical aids can improve visual perception, and how these LV aids do work, from a technological point of view.

A frequently overlooked form of CMC is computer synthesized speech (CSS). Although the first CSS systems were rather crude and unintelligible, newer systems are fairly intelligible and are widely used for a number of applications, most importantly as aids for the speaking or visually disabled. In this chapter, we briefly review the development of CSS technology and discuss the work on perception and comprehension of CSS. Then, we examine how CSS use influences interactions between disabled people and nondisabled people. We conclude by emphasizing that the development of CSS systems should take into account various social psychological factors rooted in prejudice and stigma of the disabled.

<p>Visually disabled people rely on the sense of touch and sense of hearing to help them recognise anything in their everyday life. Colours, however, is also important in giving information about things such as the colour of cash note (blue, green, red, orange and purple), the colour of spices (yellow turmeric, red chilli, green chilli) and colour of cloth. Without a sense of visual, they are not able to recognise colour and perceive the beauty of colour. This study was conducted to develop a colour recognizer for visually <strong><em>‎</em></strong>disabled people<strong><em>‎</em></strong>. Colour recogniser used the colour sensor to sense the colour, microcontroller to recognise the colour and notify the user using a speech generator and speaker. The device is powered by dry cell batteries and designed to be user-friendly, practical and portable. The testing is done to show that this device was able to sense and differentiate 12 primary colours in the RGB colour wheel and validated the accuracy of this devices.</p>

Minute Walk

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between six-minute walk test and muscle pain, muscle strength in visually disabled people. The study includes 50 visually disabled people, aged between 17, 21 ± 5,3. Participants were classified into three categories according to their degree of vision (B1, B2, B3). All participants were administered to six-minute walk test, muscle test and muscle pain threshold test.In B2 and B3 group there is significant moderate correlation between the walk distance and muscles. There were significant differences in pain threshold of quadriceps, pain threshold of hamstring and pain threshold of tibialis anterior among the groups. The data were evaluated using IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 package software, and the level of significance was taken as p < 0.005.When the visually disabled people were classified according to their visual degree, it was noticed that visual area is important while walking. Muscle power is thought to be effective in walking ability. The muscles of the legs, backs and buttocks act as they walk and allow them to stay in balance. In addition to the muscular strength, people with muscle pain do not want to continue walking because they are feeling pain in their muscles as they walk.As a result, if we want to increase walking distance, which is an important part of daily life activities of visually impaired individuals, an exercise program should be organized to strengthen muscle groups that are effective in walking and to rehabilitate painful muscles.
