Abstract

The 21st century is remembered as a period of great technological achievements in human history. As an example, we can cite Smartphones, which are widely used today. Various tasks can be done remotely and efficiently with the help of smartphones. Smartphones have become one of the most important assistants for everyone, including blind people. This paper develops software for an external USB Braille keyboard for smartphones designed to help blind and visually impaired people type quick messages.
