Display Integrated Mobile Phone Prototype For Blind People

Abstract

Mobile phones based on GSM technology for blind people are available worldwide. GSM phones have Braille keypad with large keys that helps blind people to understand the digits and the presence of voice response for key press helps them to understand the numbers. The proposed prototype allows the blind to easily use mobile phones for voice calls, as well as messaging. This paper presents the development of a new phone which is designed to help blind and visually impaired people make phone calls. This phone is beneficial through its innovative concept, its simplicity, and its availability at an affordable cost.
